Snotty Haughty Sea Turtle

Snotty haughty sea turtle.
Stuck up
Barely speaking to other sea creatures
Much ado about nothing

Snotty haughty sea turtle
Mean to others
For decades
Now trying to pretend you are not haughty?

Snotty haughty sea turtle
Waving now
Pretending you have a heart
Might as well go back into your shell.

Snotty haughty sea turtle.
Too late
Too arrogant.
Too you.

Aw, that's a bit harsh isn't it? It's a turtle. Yes, I love turtles; had'em as pets.

You saw the picture. Remember? How it had its little flippers folded and looked so haughty?
