dreamflower: gandalf at bag end (bag end 2 by <lj user="danae_b">)
I almost always have an earworm going. There is not a time when I don't have a song or jingle or something repeating itself over and over in my head. Today it was a poem that I once knew by heart. It was triggered by seeing not one, but three different turtles trying to get to the other side of the road.

Anyway, here it is, so other people can get it stuck in their heads. Share the joy! *evil grin*

The Little Turtle

By Vachel Lindsay

There was a little turtle.
He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on 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.
