Do you wonder why I hide within my shell Only peeking my head out To grab a bite or smell. The world is very dangerous with preditors galore So I'm very lucky I have This armor shell I adore. I can pull myself inside it to keep everyone at bay Only to come out when it's safe and you are away. I admit it does get lonely this little shell for one But it protects me and lets no harm become. So I think I'll keep my armor stay inside my little shell Cuz, then you can't gobble me up and make soup out of me as well. Written April 19th, 2002 © on Apr 19 2002 02:37 AM PST   17 • 0 • 14
