I once saw you on a road, Armadilla, with prickles and bushes,
but you were eating corn on the road. Armadilla, I warn you,
don’t eat the corn off the road or else you will have a bullet in
your head for eating the corn off the road. It’s for the deer, not
you, so we can kill the deer, not you, because why would we
want to shoot you? So run away, run away and eat the corn
off someone else’s ranch for all the rest of these days.
