Hey little turtle with your legs so short, <br />Are you trying to cross the road, it's an obstacle course? <br /> <br />Your necks too long, your bodies too wide, <br />What's that thing on your back, <br />Does it protect your insides? <br /> <br />Wouldn't you rather have hair, legs and feet? <br />Your head is like a pencil, and you haven't any teeth! <br /> <br />Your not a chicken, so why then lay eggs? <br />Wouln't you like a pair of hands to clap, <br />Or a nice long set of legs? <br /> <br />Now, get yourself across the road, <br />Before someone comes driving by. <br />I'd hate to see your cute lttle self, <br />Flattened turtle road pie! <br /> <br />Bye, bye my little turtle friend, <br />I do hope we meet again. <br />Then maybe we could go fishing, <br />At the lake around the bend?<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-turtle/
