Never Kiss a Turtle

This is just something silly I wrote when I got my turtles 3 years ago. I was reading a book on turtle care, and it actually advised to never kiss a turtle! I know it's b/c of samonella, but I still thought it was funny! So I wrote this. The photo is of my turtle, Arwen.

Never Kiss a Turtle

Never kiss a turtle,
That’s what the experts say,
But if you are a turtle,
Should you do so anyway?

For the sake of turtle love,
We will not interfere,
But never kiss a turtle,
Unless you are one, dear!
