The tortoise wore a top hat, <br />to hide that he was bald. <br />He felt really self-conscious, <br />and hated being called. <br /> <br />He’s off to the party, <br />to the reptile dance. <br />He’s splashed on his aftershave, <br />now he’s looking for romance. <br /> <br /> <br />The dance music was blaring, <br />music filled the park. <br />The disco ball was spinning, <br />lighting up the dark. <br /> <br />He saw a lady tortoise, <br />a red dress upon her shell. <br />Their eyes met across the room, <br />their hearts began to swell.<br /><br />Jojoba Mansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tortoise-in-a-hat-a-poem-for-children/
