The Lion Turtle


A turtle went to a spare parts store.
He gazed on wondrous things galore:
A tusk, a horn, a peacock's plume,
Fine rattles in the serpent room.

An eye, a snout, a camel hump,
Assorted wings dumped in a lump.
A zebra skin and hippo cheek,
Raccoon mask and buzzard beak.
Turtle looks at junk
