I Had a Little Turtle

I had a little turtle
And he lived in a box.
He swam in the water
And he climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a minnow.

He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a mosquito.
And he snapped at me.

He caught the minnow.
He caught the flea.
He caught the mosquito.
But he didn't catch me!
Vachel Lindsay

I had a little turtle.
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim.

He drank up all the water.
He ate up all the soap.
And now he's sick in bed
With a bubble in his throat!
