Sometimes Tim is like an old tortoise
Wizened little head and crinkled neck searching
Lips pursed to make a little beak
Sometimes he is a dassie
A chubby little block of mammal
Inclined inert across my lap as he feeds
But when he is still
His face a Chinese painting of dashes and noughts
He is a little human baby
Newly arrived on planet earth!
