Shell With a View

The turtle never lacks a space
her house is carried behind her face

She takes it on her daily route
while never really going out

She isn't vain, in fact she's humble, 
not too graceful, sometimes stumbles

Can't run far; she isn't swift
But she does have a special gift 

And very few can make this claim:
her house and car are both the same!
