Mertle and Ertle the Turtles

Little Mertle swimming so free.
Her mother Ertle, as free as can be.
A small plastic bag, lonely but free.
Small Mertle going to see.
Little Mertle getting stuck,
Little Mertle, as stuck as can be.
Mother Ertle coming to see.
Little Mertle, as free as can be.
And that small plastic bag, still lonely but free.
