Hello my name is John Heggley and the British Library has asked me to look through some of my notebooks and old files and I found a drawing here of a dromedary or a camel and you'll see it's got the one hump there. This is a goat which hasn't got any humps at all but it's got a horn to horns there and its legs are a bit short but don't worry about that. This is a very small animal called an amoeba. It looks as though it's a bit like a fried egg. That dot on the eye is actually about how big it is in actual fact and it divides to make new ones of itself. That's amoeba. This here is a terrapin and this is an armadillo which has the Latin name of daisypus novemsinctus and I'm going to make up a song about this. Well I've made the song up already but I'm going to sing it for you now on my cavacchina. My mommy she bought me an armadillo kissed him and I kept him under my pillow and I cleaned him with a brillo pad. Now some of you may be wondering what a brillo pad is. A brillo pad is what you used to clean your armadillo. He was shiny and tiny and he came from Peru. His name was Armadillo but we used to call him Tauve. He had a suit of armor and he borrowed about the hills and the daffodils he turned him inside out and his mommy used to shout at him when he came home covered in graffiti. He was an insectivorous creature the teacher used to say and the dog next door the carnivore would sometimes come and play. We had racers and jayses down by the river side and sometimes we'd go swimming and sometimes we wouldn't and he had at some beetles for dinner every day. Then creepy crawler he could put some away and he did his indoor doings in his indoor doings dry. But one day in the winter when the wild tree was there I looked under my pillow there was no armadillo there so I ran downstairs and I said to my mommy mommy where's he gone. She was having a game of rummy and she looked up and she said John. Go and put some clothing on in early 24 I said mommy it's an emergency and I ran out in the roar. I ran down to the river side and in a rowing boat I saw Toby in the distance with the dog next door. So that's an armadillo song and sometimes I just write poems about the pieces and sometimes I do things called it a cross stick where you take the word and you put it down the side of the page and you say some word for each letter. So owl open wide lids because they got big wide open lids and OWL language so you can make up some longer animal names for instance you could try couldn't you you could try making up an acrostic for daisy pus novim synctus the armadillo and it'll be a bit of fun. Don't worry about making it to do with the animal it could it could be daily Arthur says yoooo and gone from there. Anyway the last song is about a parrot and this is a song really I suppose there is an element of a vision in this of people being nice to each other. Not if somebody's a bit strange don't worry about it too much and let them develop and they could help you. Peter the orange parrot had a very tiny beak unlike the other parrots he was never heard to speak but they were never nasty to him. Peter the nontalking parrot the he just thought that he was a very very fluffy parrot then one sunny jungle day Santa Claus got lost and Peter with the tiny beak suddenly was heard to speak and he directed Santa Claus back to lap planned to be in the lap of all the other lovely laps while the other parrots had been talking. Peter had been reading maps. Thank you very much for listening get right in your own.
