Amphibian

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

It's usually daughters
Wot sez tortuss,

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

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.

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.

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

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