A TURTLE

by Norb Walker Sag - Not entered

A TURTLE IS SLOW,
BUT LOVES TO GO.
JUST ANYPLACE,
TO TAKE UP SPACE.

THO SPEED HE LACKS,
HE CAN'T GO BACK.
OR TURN AROUND,
ON THE ROUGH GROUND.

HE CALL HIS HOME,
BOTH LAND AND WATER.
PREFER THE AQUA,
WHERE HE'S MUCH FASTER.

HE HAS A SHELL,
THAT'S VERY HARD.
PROTECTS HIM WELL,
HIS PRIVATE GUARD.

HE LEAVES THE WATER, 
OF THE DEEP.
FOR UPPER GROUND,
WHERE HE CAN SLEEP.

Reason for writing:

    Turtles are another of my many favorites.
