Four Pet Turtles

I once had four cute shiny pet turtles 
Taught them all to jump rope hoops and hurdles
For a grand finale
'Twas always quite funny
They would turn multiple shades of purples

I can see you teaching them, and them begging to be left alone, so they can crawl away. Funny!

Au contraire, my dear friend... my pet turtles thoroughly enjoy the abuse. LOL
