What is this animal
What is this animal with a shell as hard as a rock?
What is this animal with a body as soft as a sock?
What is this animal that lives at the shore?
Should I ask you more?
What is this animal with a tail as sharp as a pencil?
Its too bumpy to be a stencil.
What is this animal with two compound eyes?
I wont tell any lies.
What is this animal that can go a year without eating?
Hey, at least it wont be pleading.
What is this animal with legs like claws?
It definitely doesnt have any paws.
I know, I know what this animal is! Its a horseshoe.
