Mr. Turtle
Don’t waste your
juice box,
Mr. Turtle. Turn
around
and face the
gravy.
Some
turtles never
make it
to the sun, and
that’s
just how the
pickle goes.
So, you might
as
well lay your
pencil
down, Mr. Turtle.
The circle
is a scarier place
than
your paint brush
ever pictured.
So, put away
your
colors and go
outside, Mr.
Turtle.
Your friends are
waiting,
wanting to inch
along
the line with you.
It’s not too
late to hop on board
the happy wagon,
Mr. Turtle.
You just have to
walk
away from the
ocean
you’ve always known,
and step
foot into a magical
wardrobe.
