Amphibian

I say tortoyze, though others lead me to believe that it is actually a tortuss.

  2. Brother Tobias:
    My song about a terrapin
    Inspierd me on the theremin;
    My brain was not so fertile
    When riffing 'pon a turtle

  3. Well I'm really not surprised; you see...

    A theramin needs a narrow case
    Unlike a turtle's carapace,
    Whilst turtle's need some handlin'
    When converted to a mandolin.

  4. A tortoise makes a super hat
    To perch upon your cranium
    Especially when you top it with
    A salmon pink geranium,
    And when the rhythm takes your soul
    You drum it with your fingers
    And hope your music hits the spot
    With any passing singers.

  5. The turtle is a tidy soul
    Although a horny critter,
    When on the beach it digs a hole
    And buries all its litter.

  6. I'd like to call a tortoise truce
    Though writing pomes is nice;
    I need my brain for other things
    My dear Brother Tobice.
