Golden's Bacon Turtle Poem by Ima Ryma

A turtle with a pig like snout,
Living millions of years ago,
With all the dinosaurs about,
In Utah I did make my show.
Jerry Golden, a volunteer,
Did help to prep my bones so that
Inquiring humans that are here
Could learn more 'bout my habitat.
Shell included, 'bout two feet long.
Freshwater was my choice to hang.
Something happened and all went wrong,
And I am just a fossil - dang!

Golden's bacon turtle of fame,
And there's a burger by that name.
