SEA TURTLES

Swimming slowly
In the sea,
This is where
Sea turtles can be,
Swimming straightly
Up and down,
Swimming, blending,
To the ground,
A bunch of jellies
Swim together,
Lightly Lighty
Like a feather,
There goes one
There goes two,
Then scares another
Like saying BOO,
This is where
We find turtles in the sea,
This is where
They be,
They would like to stay
On earth like you,
So help these animals
Stay here too!

By M. Bishop (10yrs)
