The Snail and the Turtle
The snail rode on the turtle's back
The turtle never picked up the slack.
Across the terrain and through the river.
The snail grew cold and began to shiver.
The turtle swam and swam some more.
The snail fell asleep and began to snore.
The turtle got mad at the snail's snore.
The turtle tried to dump him on the shore.
The snail awoke with a start.
Falling off the turtle's back and it smart.
The snail slowly crawled away.
Leaving the turtle at the bay.
The turtle stayed sunbathing on the rock.
The snail found his new home under a rock.
