Mr. Anteater
Hello Mr. Anteater�And how are you today?�I saw you over there�Just going about your day.��You have a sticky tongue�Just made for eating ants�You snuff into their homes�And scare them out their pants.��Your claws are long and sharp�Just right for lots of digging�You can burrow in the ground�With your bushy tail a wriggling.��So hello Mr. Anteater�And how are you today?�Busy finding food I see�Whilst your cubs run round and play

He had really messy hair

Can hold so much power
As fast as a car
Is a shooting star
