A Green Turtle engaged in some pater,
Paddling back and forth 'cross the Equator,
"With my Shadow cast brief, on this Barrier Reef,
Care not 'Fwinter goes sooner or later."

The work-a-day world takes its toll,
You may gasp for a grasp of the Whole,
To trade virulent clatters, for something that matters,
Put your hands on the shape of a bowl.
