Poem

The Beginning of the Armadilloes

Rudyard Kipling
I've never sailed the Amazon, I've never reached Brazil; But the Don and Magdalena, They can go there when they will! Yes, weekly from Southampton Great steamers, white and gold, Go rolling down to Rio (Roll down--roll down to Rio!). And I'd like to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old! I've never seen a Jaguar, Nor yet an Armadill-- He's dilloing in his armour, And I s'pose I never will, Unless I go to Rio These wonders to behold-- Roll down--roll down to Rio-- Roll really down to Rio! Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old!
