YERTLE THE TURTLE
“I’m Yertle the Turtle!
Oh, marvelous me!
For I am the ruler of
all that I see!”
“Your Majesty.
Please… I don’t like
to complain.
But down here
below, we are feeling
great pain.”
“And the turtles, of course…
All the turtles are free
As turtles and, maybe,
all creatures
should be.”
