Turtle

Turtle See if you can tell, who or what I am It’s a guessing game so try I know you can I live on both the water And upon the land And when I’m at the ocean I lay my eggs in sand I can be a painter Boxer or a snapper And though I live alone I couldn’t be much happier I am very slow To catch me is no chore And if you watch me for to long I’m really quite a bore Upon my back I carry My house that I live in And when I race the hare I always seem to win I can be a herbivore This means that I eat plants And though I have four legs Somehow I just can’t dance So if you think you know my name Then shout it out real loud And make your mother smile And feel so very proud.
