The answer is they DON'T; <br />they can, but they just WON'T. <br /> <br />In Garden of Weeding…. <br />Turtles were once feeding. <br />Then God said: "DON'T EAT PEAR! ", <br />which gave Turtles a scare. <br /> <br />But along came Slim Jim; <br />said: "Don't listen to Him. <br />He's all pumped UP, <br />but He's JUST a PUP. <br />Yes, His bark isn't slight, <br />BUT He's GOT no bite." <br /> <br />So Ava T. did eat; <br />gave Eddie T. a treat. <br />Pears did taste SO good; <br />Turtles ate all they could. <br /> <br />Next day came God on stroll, <br />and nearly lost control. <br />ALL pears were eaten; <br />temper started heatin'. <br /> <br />"GOD WILL DAMN THEE TURTLE. <br />FROM GARDEN I DO HURTLE! " <br />Around Garden went "rod", <br />placed there by their god. <br /> <br />For not doing as told, <br />they fear "Rod" (we call "road") . <br /> <br />(August 12,2014)<br /><br />Bri Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-do-turtles-cross-the-road-challenge-title-for-august-temptation-kind-of-short-god/
