10 - Anteater

Ants at work
They carry on
The various works
and duties

Wonders performed
by vast
tribes of ants
in foreign lands.
Four footed beasts
prey upon them

The little anteater
Covered with
long coarse hair
drooping like a heavy plume
over the hind quarters
The head is
wonderfully elongated
and very narrow.

It is destitute of teeth
And the tongue resembles somewhat
a great red
earth-worm.
It has
immensely
strong
curved
claws
