Lucy Gives Tortoise a Fine Day

Tortoise had only great things to say about his comrade Lucy.
She inspired their boss to give him a day off with his cousin Deucy.

When Deucy bowed out of the adventure, Tortoise felt relieved
Like he had been exonerated, and reprieved.

Because he had a cozy armchair and an exciting book to read
He settled down for a terrific day; it was a marvelous unselfish deed!
