SNAPPING TURTLES WENT FOR MY TOES

I went swimming with the turtles, and what did I find?

Turtles like to snap toes off, which left me in a bind,

I would have drowned that day,

But a whale came my way,

The whale swam me to my home, because that whale was kind.

The Turtle Life For Me

I like laying eggs in the sand,

Biting fingers off a human's hand

A swim in the sea,

Is the life for me,

I'm a turtle, in a shell, like I'm canned.

THE TURTLE IN MY BASEMENT

I saw a giant turtle crawling across the snow,

I knew that he would freeze to death,

Because, there were only snowy places to go,

I asked him inside to sit with me,

I gave him a cookie and some chamomile tea,

The tea made him talkative and he said his name was Lee,

He told me a squirrel had dug open his hole,

He couldn't reheat it because he ran out of coal,

So, I let him stay in the basement and in the spring he could stroll.
