Mad Aunt Bernards Tortoise Poetry

"The page to come and visit for a fabulously sensible intake of poetry straight from the divinest of inspiration - and it's only a bit tortoisy. A cracking good read if you're under anaesthetic."

Tortoise Day


It's Tortoise Day, hooray hooray
I wish you'd come out of your shell.
You've been in hibernation for a
decade or two
although
I haven't stopped
to check
if you
are
still breathing.
