: Turtle Doing Situps by Treischel


Stuck on ONE
Here's how it's begun.

The crow cried "Slow! Slow! Slow!"
"I can see how slow you go."

The turtle said, "What do you know?"
"It's the creator made me so!"

The crow cried, "No! No! No!"
"You have let all your body fat grow!"

"That's what makes you so slow!"

So the turtle went home and checked his weight.
It wasn't too far. There isn't a gate.
He got on the scale, to his amazement found
That in the last week, he'd gained over a pound

That crow was right! There's something to it!
There's nothing to say but "Just get out and do it!"
"I'll have to get myself some heavy exercise
To keep myself Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise"

So he put on his gym clothes with heavy striped socks,
An he slowly climbed up onto a pile of rocks,
He said, " Just a few sit-ups, I think I'll try."
He slowly rolled over on his shell, with a sigh.

Author Notes
This is just a silly Children's Poem inspired by this picture of a rock. To me, it looks like a Turtle doing a sit up. This rock was just along side a road near my house in the landscape of a townhouse complex. It just tickled my funny bone so I had to create a story about this turtle that will never get to Two. This is one of my animated stills.

Animated stills are poems where inanimate objects take on human, animal, or spirit forms, traits, or articles. They are derived from Photographs I have taken, that have moved me to write a poem associated with it.

I hope you see it. Look for the head on the upper right side.
