Eddy Arnold - Slowpoke lyrics

You keep me waitin’
Till it’s gettin’ aggravatin’
You’re a slowpoke
I wait and worry
But you never seem to hurry
You’re a slowpoke.

Time means nothing to you
I wait and then late again
Eight o’clock, nine o’clock
Quarter to ten.

Why should I linger
Everytime you snap your finger
Little slowpoke
Why can’t you hasten
When you see the time’s a wastin’
You’re a slowpoke.

Dear, why should I keep trying to change you
It’s not the thing to do
I guess I’ll have to learn to be
A slowpoke too.

-— Instrumental -—

Why should I linger
Everytime you snap your finger
Little slowpoke
Why can’t you hasten
When you see the time’s a wastin’
You’re a slowpoke.

Dear, why should I keep trying to change you
It’s not the thing to do
I guess I’ll have to learn to be
A slowpoke too...

Good Monday to all at Amy's Place.

The following poem is wise if you live in your own tank. Otherwise I don't often prefer pacifism (rarr!).

Lessons From A Tortoise

When trouble attacks, I make no noise Simply take on the foe with poise. Curling into a ball I retreat into my shell The hard familiar territory Makes me resolute that after this hell All shall be well. They kick me and toss me around. Take my heart and break it in two. Hurt of violence only we victims know Scaring us to death, the oppressors go. But I don’t fear them now As I am faith bound For the key to survival I have found. I learnt this defense from a tortoise Enter your shell don’t think twice, Harden against your enemy And plot your counter-attack. Do not forget to take it slow and steady It will win you the race And your hardened shell-like-mask Might just be the saving grace. Don’t mock the ‘tortoise’ you ‘cruel rabbits’ They’ll make a comeback and tear you to bits. We, the so-called meek have learnt our Lessons from a tortoise. When trouble attacks, we’ll make no noise Entering our shell we will retaliate and take on the foe with poise Now before you rabbits begin your brutal games It’s your time to think twice (26 June 2006.) .Pd. is here

That is the Cutest Post, Amy and Billie! I Love to Watch the Turtles at the King's Ranch,
And there seems to still be a Lot of them, even through Doggie Grabs One Occasionally,
And has it as a Meal. :(

A Good Day to All FRiends!

~Turtle on the King's Ranch~

The Turtle

My Life is One of Food and Ease
Going when and where I Please
I Love this Log Out in the Sun;
My Only Wish: that I could Run!

Being Slow is not that Great;
Everywhere I Go, I'm Late!
But Better Late than Never, Yes?
Or Friends would Miss the Very Best!

I'm Conceited; Yes, it's True;
But Truth is Truth; what can you Do?
It's Evident at just a Glance:
I'm the Greatest on this Ranch!

Among the Ducks and Fish I Swim
Before Retreating to my Limb;
In the Water I can See
A Sight So Handsome: it's Me!
