A Frog Named Turtle
A green chunky over stuffed frog named Turtle
one tortuga de rio
went home with a little boy
The little red-headed imagination drenched boy dressed Turtle
in camouflage
and held him close each day
The little brown-eye fair skinned boy
did case studies concerning everything about his
Ninja who loved to play
This camouflaged crafty warrior
who parachuted from lofty heights without cracking his plated shell
and definitely came alive for this frog named Turtle was not in any way a
toy!!!
This frog who became tortuga terrestre and entertained the little boy
now resides in a drawer awaiting
His golden opportunity to come alive again and parachute from lofty
lofty heights...
Alas! The little red-headed brown eyed fair skin boy now
wears
a military uniform at school
and carries a wooden gun
Ninja Turtle can no longer fight for he lost his little boy!!
