Ode to Edward Lear - Tortoise

A Birthday In May - Edward Lear



The challenge is to write a poem/limerick/or anything else
inspired by Lear's work.

Once was a tortoise named Lucy
She greatly cherished dandelions juicy 
Her home was indoors
with a basking log she adored
But preferred days outside Lucy-goosey

  1. Lucy is a lovely tortoise, and seems very happy with her dandelions, basking log, and days outside.
    A fun limerick today, Maggie.
