The Great Escape

Aboo the giant turtle has escaped
From the Okayama Zoo 
It waited until the keepers
Turned their backs
And it made its break
At 3 kilometres per hour

Standing still when they looked
Impersonating a rock
Then moving at top speed
So that no-one saw her
Until Aboo was out of the gate
Look out now it's turtle part-aying time!
