Tyrone the Tumbling Turtle
A Poem in T-minus 10, 9, 8
Tyrone tasted the twilight tea
The time tick tick tocked
Ten-thirty
‘Twas time
Tyrone the tumbling turtle
Tartan tied tight
Tumbled to town
To take the train
Tyrone tumbled through troughs
Tyrone tumbled through the trails
Tyrone tumbled through Tipperary
Tickling the teacups
Tyrone tipped to turn
To Tom the tailor’s tavern
Trickling through the thoroughfare
Tyrone tipped the tweed to Tom
Turning to
Tyrone thunk-a-thunked to the toll terminal
Tick-tock tick-tock
Time trickled to the train terminal
Turning to
“T-t-ticket T-T-Tammy t-tease”
Tyrone told Tammy
Tyrone took the ticket to the train
“Th-th-thanks T-T-Tammy. T-t-ta t-t-ta. T-t-tee tou tomorrow”
