"I am home," said the turtle, as it pulled in its head
And its feet ,and its tail,"I am home, and in bed."
"No matter what inches and inches i roam."
When the long day is done, I am always at home.
"I may go whole feet...even yards...in a day,"
But I never get lost, for i'm never away
"From my snug little house and my snug little bed"
Try being a turtle!-That's using your head!
"You can go on forever, no matter how far.
And whatever you need is wherever you are!"
("Is there one thing I miss when I'm snuggled in tight?
Yes: there's no room for someone to kiss me good night ")
