I came on your profile to have a look at your work, and now I can't stop looking. Should I laugh at this one? Because I did. I have big turtles like that in my fish pond, and also some box turtles in the yard. I hatch the eggs and keep them until they're big enough that something won't eat them.

What a creative take on this photo. I'm sorry, but I'm still laughing! 8-)

Thank you, da, for the interesting review. Yes, I'd hoped it would be seen as funny. You are a fine friend to turtles. Happy day. Bill

Thanks. Every time I think about this, It's still funny! 8-) Maybe I should warn my turtles. LOL

HaHaHaHa. Thanks, I needed that. That was quite the imagination for this picture and in the middle of a day when I felt I was the next turtle to go this was helpful. LOL

OK. I know that I'm slow, but I have to really think about this. I know that I missed something and I will spend some time trying to figure this out. I do know that if I was the surviving non killer, there would now be two killers on that log. And then it would be he or me.

The confusion is caused by what you weren't told in the beginning. One of them is a terrapin, who has another secret life on land. It's rumored that a tortoise is involved. Secret Life of Reptiles (snicker).

Sneaky, cheeky. LOL.

OMG this was so simple yet so compelling. It was thought provoking to say the least. Which one of the remaining two was the victim and would die? Which one was indeed the killer? It was very entertaining even in its shortness. The picture was so appropriate. God job, great reading, thank you.

The smelly creek by the mill had a swarm of big fat turtles until the
sodium hydroxide tank sprang a leak...too bad. Better than fish or chicken.
Looks like a tanka to me. Or possibly a freighta.

...or a freighta. I get it. No turtles were harmed in the making of this poem. They were all butchered and made into McNuggets afterward. Thank you, LIJ, for reviewing. Bill
