Myrtle The Turtle ~*Marge Tindal*~  Myrtle the turtle in her walk-around girdle is certainly a slowpoke to see She heads out at dawn for a trip across the lawn promising to be back at three If she doesn't make it home by dark I don't worry one little bit Cause if she has to stay overnight her house is perfectly fit *A little smile for the rug-rats~  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge - Is this an autobiography? lol - I got the feeling as I read this poem that you were writing about something deeper than the apparent theme. Of course, I might be wrong. Perhaps Myrtle was so slow because she spent too much time making her house fit? Regardless, this is a very sweet poem. |

Jon~ Thanks so much ... glad to share a smile~ LongJohn~ Well ... let me tell you how deep this one goes~  I took a child from my mentoring group to the pet shop and bought her a turtle. She named it Myrtle. So, I said to myself, "Self I said ... let's write a poem about Myrtle The Turtle." LOL ... 'Honest Injun' ! Thank ya' for the deep dip in the think-tank~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

This is so cute. I think I'm gonna save it to read to my niece next time I see her. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Got to love anything as laid back as a turtle. I used to have a Desert Turtle that I let roam my house. He was so cool. I made him salads and he would chomp so loudly it was hard to believe such a big sound was coming from such a little mouth. |

Marge, you gotta know I just love this. I am in the process of building an enclosure for some turtles and one (ornament) one I have to go in there was named Myrtle by my son-in-law, Timm. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |
