Tetrameter Sonnet: The Sweet-Toothed Turtle

The turtle crawled inside his cage.
He looked for food that he could eat.
His disappointment turned to rage:
“Some lettuce?! I want something sweet!”

“A piece of candy…slice of cake,
A chewy bit of caramel,
And then I’ll drink a choc’late shake,
Or Pepsi, bought at Taco Bell.”

The turtle searched again for sweets,
But there was nothing there but greens:
“What? Lettuce, rhubarb, carrots, beets,
And six half-mouldy lima beans!”

He was depressed! But don’t cry yet!
His owner brought him crepes Suzette.
