I wish I were like you Mr. Turtle,

More than I can possibly tell,

For if I wish to avoid someone,

I would just hide inside my shell.

I'd never have to pay for babysitting,

I would just leave my kids in the sand,

Did I mention I'm a great swimmer,

And can live in both sea and land?

I'd be the O.G of the animal kingdom,

Better let the other creatures know,

That my species preceded them,

One hundred million years ago!

I'm so valuable and special,

That extinction is a threat I face,

People might laugh at my speed, but know :

Slow but steady wins the race!
