MARY RIVER TURTLES

Brownish smooth, streaming shell
As slow as a slug
Green algae slimy shell
Feet that look like duck legs
Living in a dreamy, astonishing river
Scaly rocky body
Smells like fishy salty air
a bottom breathing reptile
Eating crunchy frogs, fast fish cheeping ducklings
Unexpecting prey
Fight to live
