The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks
Which practically conceal its sex.
I think it clever of the turtle
such a fix to be so fertile.

    Hey, came across this poem again after a long time. ๐Ÿ‘‹ I remember readinโ€™ it in primary school. Its about a turtle but like, it's so weird and funny. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Doesnโ€™t this sorta imply that the turtle is pretty smart to be fertile despite its hard exterior n all? Homework's a pain but this made it fun, lol! ๐Ÿ˜„ Anybody else think so? ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ญ
