Desert Animal Haikus by Kristin Fontichiaro (book recommendations .txt) 📕

Armadillo

Like a rolly squeezebox
The armadillo shuffles
Looking for its lunch


Roadrunner

Why fly in the sky
Running is more efficient
Look how sleek I am!


Gila Monster

Why did you wake me?
Can’t you see I am napping?
What – lunchtime is here?
