Toby the Turtle

Toby the great sea turtle
lives in the ocean blue;
there life he finds so fertile,
he has so much to do.

Swimming is part of his life,
he likes to find new friends;
the sea is certainly rife,
upon it he depends.

There he looks for tasty food
so he’ll grow big and strong;
scouts out caves for prey pursued,
he knows he can’t go wrong.

Although he lives life at sea,
he still comes up for air;
there’s no place he’d rather be
as all should be aware.
