Ungrateful (A Poem)

Oh turtle,
So ungrateful,
for the selfless act I performed,
on your behalf.


You crawled,
ever so slowly,
across the busy roadway,
in my path.


I felt, 
A need to help,
Despite the scoffs of onlookers,
and dangers.


You snapped,
at me so angrily,
and scratched my helping hand,
with your claw.

Oh turtle,
So ungrateful, 
I saved you from certain death,
And set you free.

By Kristin (aka- turtle savior!)

(And I might add that he was a pretty big turtle and he smelled like sewage, and I had to wash my hands 27 times--and people really thught I was psycho--but all that just didn't fit into my poem, and it's a work of art don't you know, so I created this run-on sentence at the end to tell the rest of the story. Take that stupid turtle!)
