The Tortoise That Barked
My Tortoise started barking
so I took it for a walk,
I put him on a little leash
which made the neighbours talk,
I threw a tiny stick for him
in the local park,
but by the time he brought it back,
it was getting pretty dark,
I taught him how to sit and beg,
give me his front paw,
he goes and fetches all the mail
when it comes through the door,
all the things I've taught him,
are I think pretty swell,
he looks at me, shakes his head
and goes into his shell.
