I know we have lots of poets here so have at it folks ! As short or long as you like on a wikiloops theme ideally :)

I will kick it off with

It was quiet in the Shoutbox at wikiloops today
I think that armadillo scared everyone away
Just a lonely tumbleweed rolling slowly past
Why not add a line or two to make this poem last

The world is scary, it's upside-down
So many hurting, smiles now frowns
I'm so disconnected here in my room
in my underwear awaiting the next Zoom

Nick's post makes me think of Toobin
Who on Zoom had lots of Lube in
his left hand, ready for the show
Go Jeffrey go Jeffrey go!!

Tumbleweed is a Texas town where armadillo roam
But one escaped to wikiloops and claimed it as his home
If you see this sneaky beast eating up your shout
Then play your music louder and we can kick him out

From Hamburg to Texas the Loopers align
Prepared to perform once they`re given the sign
Meanwhile a hedgehog is building a nest
It`s busy, can`t rhyme so it`ll give it a rest

Armadillo Jack was nimble, he sure was quick
he stole the toys and evaded St. Nick
on his way out, he slowed for a pause
catching a glimpse of a naked Mrs. Clause

The trolley`s unguarded while Shi is away
Cookies and coffee no more on this day
Mrs. Clause is desperate to cover herself
as Nick hid her clothes on top of the shelf

catching a glimpse of a naked Mrs. Clause

Cookies and coffee no more on this day

as Nick hid her clothes on top of the shelf

Now Mrs Clause had a face as red as poor old Rudolph's nose
While Santa had no 'elf control and his excitement rose
But they both knew that tomorrow would be a busy day
So they set their Alarmadillo Clock and loaded up the sleigh
They stopped off at the trolley and Shouted out to Shi
We'd like a dozen coffees please, and a cup of wiki tea !

Cool stuff here, made me smile. Only thing that is strange, the name of Arthur the Wiki Armadillo is Arthur... see here - we might continue the naming discussion, too :D https://www.wikiloops.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=2020&rowstart=0

Our poem has halted, the thread's deviated
To renaming Arthur that beast, armor plated
If you have the time
Please make your post rhyme
We all want to see something new you've created

When shall the Loopies meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurly-burly's done,
and the maiden song will have been sung?

The thing we like most in the Shoutbox for sure
Is to see the 'support' every day more and more
Some friends are old and others are new
So we hope they all love us... and that means you too !

I hear a nice Jam and I want to join in
But it's 4.58 on a dark Thursday morning
My musical skills are too loud for this time
So I'm wishing I lived in a different clime
They're Jiving and Rocking, it's Evening out West
But it's sleepy in Europe, they still need their rest
