Alvin Greene is not a Turtle

I repeat Alvin Greene not a turtle! He is a parrot. Folks this is why the nation is going down the toilet. The turtles are taking over the pond.

And Yertle the Turtle, the king of the trees,
The king of the air and the birds and the bees,
The king of a house and a cow and a mule…
Well, that was the end of the Turtle King’s rule!
For Yertle, the King of all Sala-ma-Sond,
Fell off his high throne and fell Plunk! in the pond!

And today the great Yertle, that Marvelous he,
Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see.
And the turtles, of course… all the turtles are free
As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.
-Dr. Seuss
