Turtle Gumbo

When you’re done packing, then you can begin snacking.
Turtle soup is never lacking, to leave your lips smacking.

Gathering turtles is a game, without any kind of shame.
No one will ever even blame, tastes like chicken the same.

Make a trip into the loop, then chase slowly from the coup.
Then cook me up, turtle soup, sharing consommé in a group.
