The Turtle Song

I am a turtle cute and green,

I am here to sing,

Please do not get mean

I have a shiny shell,

It stores my things well,

When people are mean it is hard not to dwell

I crawl to get where I must go,

Never in a hurry,

Unless there is a foe

I like lettuce by the bowl,

It is my favorite,

I even eat it whole

Water keeps me from being dry,

Although it is hard to find,

The thought makes me try

In my shell I hide from dangers,

It is very dark in here,

I see no strangers

Now with a clear path,

To the sea I will dash,

Swimming all day free of trash
