Swimmin' In the Soup of Love

The ocean’s wide the ocean deep and in the soup the turtle sleep. Some live on land and we know that is true, then we call them tortoise, land lubbers like you. They been around a long, long, time longer than man and their extinctions a crime!. Some like their soup salty some like it plain so, the ones in lakes we call terrapin. All of us came from the soup of the sea, we all have shells though no turtles be we. Like turtles when scared tend to pull in their heads hiding like children deep under the bed. All the lessons here seems very clear be kind to all creatures in the Soup we have here. Don’t pull in your neck, stick it right out For the love of each heart here is what Soup’s about.
