The Turtle’s Book

I would love to write a book
About the life of a turtle
With a fashionable look
And a shell in purple

The story would be very clear
A turtle with the vision to fly –
Even if it has a lot of fear
And a childhood to cry

Turtles are made for walking
Their life shouldn’t be larking
Their shells are brown and for shelter
Purple – will end – in a helter-skelter

I would like to describe the fact
That this creature is very proud
Of its dream… to act –
Like a skydancer in the cloud

Yes, the beautiful sunset, no deny
Is congenial with the purple shell
I love to watch its gliding … sky-high
This I would like to tell

Turtles are made for walking
Their life shouldn’t be larking
Their shells are brown and for shelter
Purple – will end – in a helter-skelter

A turtle is rather queasy
If it can not walk or swim
So the answer is not easy
But in my book you’d find … my
turtle’s hymn…
