The Turtle
The turtle lives 'twixt platted decks
That practically conceal it's sex.
I think it clever of the turtle,
In such a fix to be so fertile!
_______Ogden Nash
The Turtle (2)
The turtle moves at a sluggish pace.
Carrying himself inside a case.
From which stick out feet, tail and face,
And yet he always wins the race!
________Camille Saint-Saens "Carnival of the Animals"
