Turtle On the Green Grass

How lovely is this turtle! So peaceful!
His course is well designed by nature's whim
He crawls, like a green creeper, so blissful
He can walk and skulk and easily swim

His course is well designed by nature's whim
He's not sure of his life's next stride or stage
He can walk and skulk and easily swim
He seems calm, content like a saintly sage

He's not sure of his life's next stride or stage
He crawls, like a green creeper, so blissful
He seems calm, content like a saintly sage
How lovely is this turtle! So peaceful!
