A turtle swims to water's edge,
   and finds before him a steep bluff.
 He makes himself a solemn pledge,
   "I'll scale this cliff, however tough!"
 Struggling over the toilsome rim,
   he sees another wall of stone
 stands just ahead - tormenting him.
   "Just one more, I'll not piss and moan."
 If he could know that it was stairs,
   He'd have some turtle curse words to share.
