Turtle Troubles

Catching the current
Swimming place to place
Finding a friend
But I really need to race
To the grass beds
Where the dugong do lay
I see them all
Just resting in the bay
I move on to the kelp forest
Where I search for a friend
I see a sea lion in the kelp
I can tell that this is a dead-end
As I swim back to the reef
I spot a dolphin in the waves
A friend I need help from
A friend who is brave
A friend is what I need
To lend a helping hand
I need a friend to help me
To get this plastic off my shell
