The Little Turtle - Burl Ives

There was a little turtle,

He lived in a box.

He swam in a puddle,

He climbed upon the 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
