This is a sad, big round turtle;
Who isn't happy; he thinks he has to wear a girdle.
For, he has a shell this is fat and round;
He has a pot belly that droops on the ground.
He is already a turtle who feels lowly;
Because his mind sometimes moves very slowly.
It takes him a year to get where he is going;
For, his crying runny nose; he is always blowing.
When he finally gets to his destination;
He feels very much that he needs a vacation.
For, he usually gets his caffeine;
Because it makes him speedy and he thinks he will stay
lean.
But, he can do nothing about his fat shell;
So, he goes to a wishing well.
He makes a wish that he was an animal;
Who didn't look like he had a belly full.
He then becomes a worm thin;
Now, a race; he can win.
For a worm doesn't have a belly
Which looks like it's filled with jelly.
Hopefully, he doesn't get caught for fishing bait;
That is something he would hate.
So he just buries himself in a hole in the soil;
And he balls up in a little coil.
Maybe, one day, he will be brave;
And come out of his little cave!
