Squirtle

This is a poem about my pet turtle. i wrote this around January, 2011. I used some of my favorite things and putting in the poem to show how I care and relate to my pet turtle.

If I could paint your shell pink or black, I would.

Daddy Yankee and Wisin Y Yandel blare from my comoputer --

you swim along to the beat.

I love eating shrimp and so do you.

Strawberry milkshakes smell much sweeter and more appetizing than the smell of poop --

which churns my stomach in your tank.

I love cuddling into nice wamr fleece blankes.

It's too bad your not a pet I can cuddle with.

Maybe during the summer I'll take you to the beach.

Wait, no that's a bad idea -- you're better off in your tank.

When I'm holding you, my heart fill with joy,

but you fill up with hate and try to bite.

I've only had you for three months but I still love you,

and you still hate me.

We connect in ways that no one will understand.

Even though you hate me, I will always love you.

No matter how much we don't get along,

you will always be my pet.

Even when I'm off to college,

you will always be my pet.
