Look at my tortoise
Isn't he sweet
Always looks tidy
Clean and neat
Never answers back
Rarely makes a mess
Loves a polished shell
Likes baths a bit less
Eats lots of lettuce
Some carrot as well
Will always be with me
That I can tell
But what will he do
If I don't come back home
Who will look after him
Where will he roam?
Please look after my tortoise
While I'm flying my planes
Love him like I do
All over again
Xxxxxx

Great poem. Did you write this one?
I'm going to forward it to a friend who has pet turtles in her backyard. She'll love it.

I hope she likes it Nancy. and yes, everything on the blog is written by me (unless stated otherwise) :)
I like the positive attributes of the turtle mentioned in your poem.
Good one Emma

Back in the 60s or 70s there was a bit of a craze for Pet Stones, the could be treated like Tortoise, but required less exercising and were cheaper to feed.
Great, I shall read your poem at our Writing Group.
I've always wanted a tortoise, I can't see any downsides to them really
thanks
thanks
I remember those, in fact I think I had one :)
thanks Bob, that sounds scary
Nice poem. I guess tortoises do have some advantages as pets, though I prefer friendly cuddly ones.
I'll have him- he doesn't sound much trouble!
