Project Pangolin

Extra tiny dinosaur

Walking over there

Covered in scales and dust and mud

For you life is not fair

Hunted and stolen

Lost and beat

I want to save you

Because you are neat

Little tiny dinosaur

Walking over there

Filled with hope and love and pride

And I am by your side

An interesting and timely topic... There was a recent PBS special on this fascinating creature. Of course, now that they are trying to link it with Covid19 the poor animal will be hunted and face an even more precarious future... although it is not the pangolin's fault- and maybe it even is a link to a cure. As for your poem- nice rhyme, vivid images and a powerful message.
