I used to have a tortoise With eyebrows long and wispy My father came home drunk one night And said “ mmm… that pie was crispy”. I scribbled that little ditty on a scrap of paper while sitting in a register office waiting for my sister’s wedding ceremony back in the 60s. She was only 17 , pregnant and was very nervous, I thought it might help her relax and put the piece of paper into her hand. It did. She collapsed in helpless giggles and sailed through the ceremony with a huge grin and without a hitch. We lost her 30 years ago, and I still miss her every day. This sketch brought back happy memories.
