Fertile Turtle On Beach Named Myrtle

Fertile Turtle On Beach Named Myrtle

We finally found out she had been fertile;
And marooned on a beach named Myrtle;
Her spoil;
A big boil;
Each egg did turn out to be  a tiny turtle.

This actually happens. Small turtles boil up out of sand. You have to dig a ditch so they will go out to sea. If you don't they will be eaten by birds. Myrtle Beach, SC is right down the road.
