If I Were A Turtle

If I were a turtle, I would need not ever run a hurtle. Slow and easy would be my pace, I would not ever need to enter a race. I would take my time going here and there, I would have no worries, and not a care. Never would I ever need to roam, Wherever I'd venture, I would be home. In the creeks and ponds if I wanted to float, I'd be prepared, with my own houseboat. I would carry my world upon my back, As some men carry their world, inside a sack. Never would I need to change my blouse, Because on my back, would be my house. Independence and happiness I do see, Being a turtle, would very much suit me. Randy L. McClave
