Turtles!

I was out of ideas for poems. So, I asked my little brother. He is eight years old and loves turtles. I asked him "What should I write a poem about?" his response: "Turtles!". And there you have it; I have written a poems about turtles.

Turtles!

Hidden there beneath the sand,

A small green creature's sitting.

My favorite animal across the land,

A turtle, soon, I'm getting.

I've begged for one forever,

My wish is coming true!

I don't care whether he's clever,

Or if he's green or blue.

He being shipped through UPS,

In a little box with holes,

My patience is being put to the test,

But as I wait I know:

My turtle, my turtle is coming,

And Pal will be his name,

And so these words I'm humming,

but.. I'm waiting all the same.

I wrote these words with a little tune, but I think they do just fine as a poem. Not my greatest work, but it gave my brother and myself a good laugh.
