little tommy tortoise he his my garden pet
he roams around for hours when its dry or wet
he likes to chew on lettuce and nibbles it real slow
then  a walk around the garden this little chap will go
he has a built in shelter when curled up in his shell
which is back or front you really can not tell
he sleeps all through the winter till the start of spring
then comes out again such a clever little thing
he is only young with lots of years to go
what i would do without him i really just dont know
