Tommy the Tortoise
Tommy the tortoise isn’t just lazy
he’s just slow.
And when you are not watching
he’s off on the run!
Slow and steady wins the race
but not at this pace!
He will never know Christmas,
he’s a part-time pet,
his legs like short tree trunks,
he lives in his “slow!”
And scales too
but it’s dinner now “whey whooo!”
I like Tommy,
and can you keep a secret,
he likes you too.

An Animal Does
Dogs growl
lions prowl.
Larks soar
tigers roar.
Squirrels scamp
elephants stamp.
Monkeys giggle
worm’s wiggle.
Flamingos doze
a crow crows.
Rabbits nibble
cows dribble.
Parrots talk but…
I walk!
