Tortoise

-

-
He lived in a northwest fortress,
Where he raised a Galapagos tortoise,
He fed it on lettuce,
And even would bet us,
The tortoise could swim like a porpoise.

Peril

-

-
A dog that was doubtlessly feral,
Intimidated Beryl and Meryl,
Asleep like a sheep,
He thought she was Streep,
To the actress's ultimate peril.

Pants

-

-
A man who was very, very rich,
Nonetheless had an incurable itch,
He ripped off his pants,
And whirled in a dance,
Till he wasn't wearing a stitch.

Cezanne

-

-
A painter named Paul Cezanne,
Painted portraits of his paisan,
He made five or six,
Of these beautiful pics,
And said, "Peace be with you, my son".

Cucumber

-

-
A rector eating cucumber, burpless,
had taken home the leftover surplus,
He found with a start,
Beside his sacred-heart,
He had dropped a slice on his surplice.
