Logging on turtle style

Rainforests have an inclination

in their title that helps us to

understand the circumstances

how it rains and what you do

if you happen to be a creature

living on the litter floor

suffering the vagaries of flooding

and to know what for

as the rivulets are widened

turtles get the chance to swim

and all the while looking for logs

to sun themselves and to stay trim

one after another sun bathing there

size is important when logging on

if you are tiny then you are gone

the bigger turtles they are such bullies

they use their bulk and knock you off

in the sunshine you can see them

and can hear them forced to cough

a sadness comes to tiny bodies

tearful eyes attract those who

male butterflies  who steal their tears

and save them thats what what they like to do

turtle tears are a rare commodity

butterfly ladies love them so

apparently its  an aphrodisiac

which not a lot of people know

logging on thus its exciting

you learn to grab the log and stay

theres nothing worse than being dumped off

but with training you can stay on all day.
