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

Good morning, LadyJ. Hope you are having a Marvelous Monday.

Thank you for your turtle poem.
Your little turtle zipped up in his shell is cute.

Thank you!
