POEM
This armadillo loves the South
Shoving Tex-Mex in his mouth
He sure loves it south of the boarder
Keeping his friends in good order !

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Tank is made with the same fabric as Mel (style 4162) and Spike (style 4060).
2. There are three versions of Tank, all with the same style number. The first version of Tank has seven stitched, vertical lines on each side of his body to represent an armadillo's plates. The second version of Tank has nine stitched lines. The third version of Tank has nine stitched lines plus a horizontal border under the lines to make the shell look more realistic.
