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." Lord Elpus - The Guardian

Cow Pat
Cow-pat, Cow-pat you are flat - I can't wait till you set.
You're crunchy top can be picked off - and turned into a frisbee.
Fling it full force, at inferior numpties who frequently cause you grief.
Then run like f**k before they catch up, and give you a class A shoeing.
I'd like to write a poem about cowpats, but all my poetry comes under the heading of bullsh**. As well as a frisbee, a well-crusted cowpat makes a pretty convincing beret.
Although this blog is mainly words, it is essential that you have an ear trumpet close by on the sideboard in case any post contains the words 'Igloo', 'Matterhorn', 'Fulcrum' and of course 'The'.
Children in the 1800's were told that these stationary tortoises were 'flying saucers' that had simply broken down, and were allowed to work on them in their garages after school. They never got them started and were told by adults that they couldn't order the right parts.
Inclement Mood
Never tell a tortoise he has a 'wattly chin'. They get very upset and and are the fifth animal most likely to start road rage incidents.
It ain't over until the fat lady sings!

Juan De La Vega
Juan De La Vega was very surprised when the tortoise, who'd been dormant for three hours, suddenly pounced and killed him on it's pointy horns. It apparently didn't like red rags, and didn't feel like 'coming out of his shell'.
Tortoise Day

Tortoise Polo
Children became weary of this passtime, it never delivered the speeds it promised, and a proper mallet was never provided. It was a fib, perpetuated by adults - it was the flying saucers all over again.
That's the second poem I've read today with a cowpat in it. Is it catching, I ask?
