The armadillo always wears A shield upon his back, So as not to be an easy prey, Should a predator attack. The armadillo isn't fast, Nor is he very strong. But with his shield upon his back His life is prosperous and long, Unless he strolls across the road And gets mixed up in the track Of the tires that flatten him beneath The shield upon his back. |

I guess all shields have their limitations. Great poem, Dom! Poor armadillo. |

Build your walls but don't forget to lock the door!  Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

Wise words!! Don't cross the road unless you can outrun the traffic!  |
