Don't Be a Turtle!
You're wonderful. You're glorious.
You're talented as well.
But do not be a turtle who
is hidden in his shell
and even when he shows his face
and lets his feet pop out
stays mostly in his carapace
and slowly moves about
thinking he is daring, brave,
and therefore cannot fail
because at least he's moving faster
than the sluggish snail.
So shed your stiff integument
and leave your narrow coop
unless you aim to wind up as
a bowl of turtle soup.
