Turtle

I have had my turtle for a while now. I like him a lot, so I am dedicating this poem "To Yellow bellied Slider" to him:

O little yellow green turtle,
your shell is hard but not brittle.
Always hiding and seeking,
what are you finding?
All the minnows have been eaten,
though I feed you pellets quite often.
A slow crawler of the riverbank,
Now the king of an entire tank!
