There was a little turtle
Who lived in a box.
He swam in the puddles
And climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at the mosquito,
He snapped at the flea.
He snapped at the minnow,
And he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito,
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow,
But he didn't catch me
by Vachel Lindsay
I'm a little turtle, I crawl so slow,
And carry my house Wherever I go. When I get tired I pull in my head, My legs and my tail, And go to bed! -- Unknown
