Sad Turtle

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!
