Anthropomorphism

There once was a turtle,

Who's name was Mertile.

He went for a walk,

And tripped on a rock.

After stubbing his toe,

And screaming "OHHHH NOOOO!"

He realized that he was alone.

Mertile limped around,

On the cold, hard, ground

But seemed to be getting no where.

He soon found a shoe

Near an empty canoe,

And sailed down the river blue.

With the paddle in hand

He started to land,

At the banks of his beloved home.

Still staggering about,

But never giving into doubt,

He struggled on without a pout.

Finally returning home hungry, injured, tired,

And a new lesson aqcuired,

He warned his children,

"Never wander alone."
