colorful turtle

Colorful turtle poked out his tattooed head.
He had been sleeping soundly in his winter’s bed.
But the grass was growing, he could smell a lily.
I think I’ll get up he said to his bacteria, Silly.

Silly did not want to leave their cozy nest.
He said “Let’s stay here and ignore the rest.”
He was trying to start a virus, but it did not work.
For colorful turtle did not let him hide or lurk.

Silly latched onto a violet, trying to give her a virus.
She laughed and said “I think you have me mixed up with Iris.”
Irises are delicate, and get sick easily, Silly.
He was confused by flowers and tried to stir up the pink lily.
