Armadillo Ball - LP Zoo

What can an armadillo do?
Well I have 3 bands, doncha know,
And here at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
My bands are on my armor, so
Like hinges I can make them move
So that my armor shell will roll
Into a ball when I behoove
All of my body, mind and soul.
And there I am inside my shell,
Snug and safe from the world outside.
I can stay therein quite a spell,
Until I choose to open wide.

A happy New Year to you all.
I'll drop down as a New Year's ball.
