An aardvark is audacious.

It’s truly very bold.

I learned of aardvark escapades

From a story my grandma told.

Grandma’s neighbor had an aardvark

How he bought it, she doesn’t know.

But he would let that aardvark loose

At three AM to rock and roll.

Gray ears as long (or even longer)

Than the line at the DMV.

When bandits heard that aardvark

They’d scramble up a tree.

Grandma didn’t have to hide

Her jewelry in a safe.

That aardvark was her guard dog

In whom she placed her utmost faith.

An aardvark is much stranger

Than a snow storm in July.

But my grandma said that when she moved

She pet that aardvark’s head and cried.
