The elephant and the turtle

He likes the solidity

Of having protection,

His big friendly guardian

Always beside him.

She liked the companionship,

How he always had a quip.

They talked about everything under the sun

And even beyond, past the moon's dip.

Sometimes she'd spray him with mud, and sometimes he'd slow her down.

Sometimes they'd fight

Or not get along.

But although they are different,

The two friends are true -

The bestest of buddies,

The next day good as new.
