X E N A R T H R A
"Xenarthra" refers to a group of critters
That you wouldn't hire for baby sitters
They consist of some oddball creatures
Who're known for having distinctive features
First there's the sloth, two-toed and three
They're the laziest dudes in history
And then there is the armadillo
Who I wouldn't use for my bedtime pillow!
And third and last, the South American anteater
For gathering ants, you just can't beat 'er
It seems no trio could differ farther
And yet they all are classed “Xenarthra”
So what's the common link, you say?
An extra lumbar vertebrae!
Yes, these creatures could give you a fun day
But for me, they complete this A-Z "Monday"!
