Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the biggest turtle in Pickerel Pond.
We have beaver we have otter.
But it′s I who rule the water.
I'm the biggest turtle in Pickerel Pond.
There are lots of fish and fowl in Pickerel Pond.
The bugs and bullfrogs share a common bond.
The critters in this lake
I'm the biggest turtle in Pickerel Pond.
I have jaws that snap snap snap in a neck that′s extra long.
I′m always on the lookout for a gourmet meal.
My favorite fish is frog's legs, a delicious shade of green.
I do suppose most humans often feast on such cusine.
We have bass and blue gills in Pickerel Pond.
And delicious ducklings of which I′m fond.
I don't have to be a scrapper.
I′m an 85-pound snapper.
I'm the biggest turtle
IN PICKEREL POND!!!!
