Why does Timmy turtle walk so slow,
is it because he has no place to go?
No matter how far the turtle roams
he never really far from home.
Why are some turtles colored green,
is it so they won't be easily seen?
They are so quiet, never make a sound,
the turtle is never easily found.
Why doesn't Timmy ever move real fast,
does he always like finishing last?
Does he really want to beat the hare,
maybe Timmy just doesn't care.
Under your tires you'll hear a crunch,
that why they never travel in a bunch.
Is the turtle home, how can you tell?
he's always home, home is his shell.
One kind of turtle won't take any crap,
get near him and he'll hiss and snap.
but Timmy turtle never really gets mean,
he is quiet, gentle and the color green.

Hehehe, I loved it, especially the part of why turtles don't travel in a bunch. I remember some of my friends playing with a turtle when he lock onto a finger. It took a 2 x 4 across his back to get the little booger to let go. Loved the poem.
