Streak The Tortoise


from the ABC set Poems 1

When I was a child
I had a couple of tortoises
one called Streak and the other Marge

One day, Streak, the boy, had an accident
he was injured and was Just laying there lifeless
we had no idea what had happened
but could see that he had a bleeding wound
my parents jumped to the rescue and took him to the vet

On examination the vet found that he was indeed wounded
but he had actually wounded himself!
me and my parents stood there as the vet had to spell it out to us...
he had become a bit amorous with Marge and...
well, let’s just say that he got something stuck

With the aid of a needle and thread
Streak lived on for many years

And the moral of this story...

be careful where you put your winky;

you may not like the outcome!
