With short, stout and scaled legs, you lift your domed shell. And despite your famous boxiness, you actually walk quite well. When danger comes, you do not cringe. Just close the door, with your handy hinge. You eat your meals, with your sharp, horned beak. But if food is scarce, you can fast for a week.

A mysterious code of yellow lines, blotches, spots and widgets.  I count the growth rings on your square scutes, a fairly accurate gauge. Three times I've counted seventeen, so that must be your age. ©  2012  Richard Havenga NOTE: This poem is meant to be read aloud to children in the style of Dr. Seuss. Have fun with it.
