Whether Shell or Rock, It's Hard
A chapter in the book Animated Stills
Turtle Doing Situps
by Treischel
Stuck on ONE Here's how it's begun. The crow cried "Slow! Slow! Slow!" "I can see how slow you go." The turtle said, "What do you know?" "It's the creator made me so!" The crow cried, "No! No! No!" "You have let all your body fat grow!" "That's what makes you so slow!" So the turtle went home and checked his weight. It wasn't too far. There isn't a gate. He got on the scale, to his amazement found That in the last week, he'd gained over a pound That crow was right! There's something to it! There's nothing to say but "Just get out and do it!" "I'll have to get myself some heavy exercise To keep myself Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise" So he put on his gym clothes with heavy striped socks, An he slowly climbed up onto a pile of rocks, He said, " Just a few sit-ups, I think I'll try." He slowly rolled over on his shell, with a sigh. ONE |
This is just a silly Children's Poem inspired by this picture of a rock. To me, it looks like a Turtle doing a sit up. This rock was just along side a road near my house in the landscape of a townhouse complex. It just tickled my funny bone so I had to create a story about this turtle that will never get to Two. This is one of my animated stills.
Animated stills are poems where inanimate objects take on human, animal, or spirit forms, traits, or articles. They are derived from Photographs I have taken, that have moved me to write a poem associated with it.
I hope you see it. Look for the head on the upper right side.
