The Badger



The desert and the field are where
you’ll find the badger and his lair.

For privacy he feels a yen
and so he hides down in his den;

and thus likes soil both dry and sandy—
the ease of digging is most handy!

As hunter he is quite the pro,
unearthing gophers to and fro—

and so coyotes may come round,
cashing in on what he’s found.

At chasing prey, he’s sure aggressive—
but as a dad he’s not impressive:

in fact he could be called a jerk,
who leaves his wife to do the work!

He has a honor which is great—
the chosen mascot of a state,

and beyond his wildest dream,
he got to name a football team!
