I have a certain quality
In fact an abnormality
In that my head and arms and legs retract,
That's right I can pull them inside
My torso in order to hide
Whenever I am frightened of attack!
This trait of mine you might think strange
Or perhaps a bit deranged
That there is a chelonian man?
Well I'm rather fond of it
And I don't mind it for a bit
And like to do what only turtles can!
So if you ever come upon
Me and all my limbs are gone
And my body seems without a head,
Please don't fret I am OK
It's just I saw you come my way
And thought it would be safer to play dead!
