Our Turtle

The turtle had just pissed itself
Which I didn't know they do
But, I now suppose I would too
If stuck on a highway's yellow line
A slow mover between cars, rvs and semis

My eagle-eyed boyfriend spotted it
I hit the brakes and returned
Guessing it was probably road pizza.
He removed the turtle - who was intact and moving around -
from the puddle and placed it safely in the roadside grass

Nebraska
Thank you for the great scenery and friendly people
We gave you back your turtle!



just a sample of what a turtle in Nebraska has to contend with
