Snapping Turtle

Snapping Turtle

 

He has a great big head with little eyes

And a mouth with a worm inside

 

His shell is mossy and covered with weeds

And mud makes him difficult to see

 

He is a creature from the black lagoon

And with an alligator shares a room

 

He catches fish with his wiggling bait

On the bottom where he patiently waits

 

Sometimes he gets caught by a fisherman’s line

But breaks free every time

 

When held he hisses and snaps his jaws

Angrily at one and all

 

And then one day like a toad

He gets run over in the road

    I've done a hymn-poem on one of your poems. I've called it 'Stairway in the sky'.
