I've seen them bite hogs and even a preacher.
They dance around with enticing charm,
But if you get too close they'll eat your arm.

I once tried to keep one as a pet.
It swam in its puddle and got really wet...
I wanted to hug it... but I got too near.
It bit off my... fingers and then got my ear.

It then escaped into the vast woods;
And from there it took over small neighborhoods.
I tried to follow it, but never could tell
Where that turtle hid (was it in its shell?)

I cried and I cried, and I cry still.
I made it a monument on my favorite hill...
It looks like a turtle, but it can't replace
My vallient creature's beautiful face!

Turtles (Those evil creatures)

A turtle is a violent creature,
I've seen them bite hogs and even a preacher.
They dance around with enticing charm,
But if you get too close they'll eat your arm.

I once tried to keep one as a pet.
It swam in its puddle and got really wet...
I wanted to hug it... but I got too near.
It bit off my... fingers and then got my ear.

It then escaped into the vast woods;
And from there it took over small neighborhoods.
I tried to follow it, but never could tell
Where that turtle hid (was it in its shell?)

I cried and I cried, and I cry still.
I made it a monument on my favorite hill...
It looks like a turtle, but it can't replace
My vallient creature's beautiful face!

Since when do fingers have faces? And what the devil were you doing with your...fingers so close to the turtle. Better yet, don't tell me. I'd rather not know.
