Paging Dr. Turtle

I woke up early this morning
And then I let the dog outside
Then I fixed myself some breakfast
And I went out for a ride

The sky was looking funny
And the trees were pink not green
There were elephants out jumping
On giant trampolines

The squirrels were playing poker
And the dogs were driving cars
Pickup trucks were flying
And the cats were tending bars

I thought I must be going crazy
For sure I am going mad
Then I saw this little turtle
And he looked so very sad

So I asked the little guy
What is bothering you today?
He said it’s the other turtles
They say I am too small to play

So I looked across the street
In an empty lot they stood
Turtles playing baseball
And wow they sure were good

So I got back in my car
And I slowly drove away
When I looked back in my mirror
I heard that turtle say
