Oh Where Oh Where is my Little Bitty Turtle

There once was a little bitty turtle
that was found on the side of the road
We picked him up and brushed him off
to make sure he wasn't a toad

We took him home to keep as a pet
This is not the end, we aren't there yet
He was so cute and we loved this little turtle
He was our pet, he didn't give us any trouble

We took care of him, it gave us such pride
But he was so small, so we kept him inside
We made him his only little homemade pond
There was a little sand dune he could climb upon

We thought he was very happy and content
Then one day we wondered where he had went
We looked and looked, we searched high and low
Where oh where did that turtle go?

Days went by, then came the weekend
Washing and drying clothes, this day we would spend
The clothes were washed and then were dried
WHAT oh what is that, I couldn't believe what I spied

Come here little turtle, so that's where you've been
You took a ride in the cycle of wash and spin
Oh poor little turtle, you sure will be missed
That mean old dryer has done turned you into a crisp

To the reptile lovers that will read this story
I tried to not make it sound so gory
Before the dryer, we know in the water he died
You will be comforted to know he drowned before he fried
