Charlie and Travis
by: Nikolai

Turtles come, and turtles go,
But none are as great, as two I know.
Charlie and Travis: turtle Masterminds,
They built a spaceship out of melon rinds.

It had a big front window,
And some nifty little fins;
With some groovy bucket seats,
And half a dozen trash bins.

Turtles in space!
That's something to cheer.
But they didn't fly away;
They stayed right here.

I said they were turtle masterminds,
Not turtle pioneers.
How can they take to the skys,
If they can't conquer their fears?
