I Am Turtle

I am turtle and I roam. From town to town, carry my home, upon my back and that’s a fact. A more patient creature you’ll not see; my best feature, is to patient, be. I take my time and always arrive. An world observer, with great fervor; I’ll always arrive when disaster strikes; with my house on my back and emergency packs. Your reptilian friend until the end. On land and sea, I’ll always be. For Turtle am I and I always arrive.

This was charming and reminded me of the story, The Tortoise and The Hare. This tortoise is full of tenacity. I like his positive persistence as he carries his home on his back. Some could learn from your poem. Homes can be 'heavy' but reading about your poem's tortoise gives us hope and can inspire us to keep going. What a peaceful poem. Here's to the tortoise!

Thanks and it could have been the 1st RV...who knows? We'll have to ask a very old turtle, I guess.

Reads like a cross between Dr. Suess and the old 'Texaco Man' commercial -- "You can trust your car to the man who wears the star: the big, bright Texaco star!" Enjoyed!! Thanks, M.L.
