There Once Was a Turtle

There Once Was a Turtle

There once was a turtle who lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle and he climbed on some rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me!
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea,
He caught the minnow
BUT HE DIDN’T CATCH ME!
