Artful Turtles - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Spotted and painted turtles do
Hang out together very well,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
In the habitat where they dwell.
The spotted turtle's shell has spots,
Bright yellow ones that do stand out.
And the painted turtle has lots
Of colored markings all about,
Primarily upon the face
And on the limbs to set apart
Which turtle's which in time and place,
As each be covered in fine art.

Come to the Childrens' Zoo and see
All of these turtles turtlely.
