Spooky Turtles

Funny how these small things happen

Little ripples in the pond

Spooky turtles poised for snapping

Just beneath the sweet reflection/

 

Funny how we seldom notice

What we do to cause reaction

What effects we leave behind us

As we blindly stagger on/

 

Funny how the Big Things linger

All disguised as normal silent

Meanwhile little ripples grow

While we lean back, smiling, napping/

 

Meanwhile all those spooky turtles

Gather down there in the cold

Surfing upside down to bite us...

(Little things get bigger.... Honest!)
