My thanks to Melinda for introducing me to the turtle :)

Are you up to your eyeballs in thick, sticky mud

Or a full-monty face pack that’s doing you good?

Are you beating your head on the wall till you’re blue?

If you beat hard enough then you might just break through.

*

Or so deep underwater your chances are slim

Till you find that the deep-end’s the best place to swim?

Or way up the proverbial creek in a boat

Finding if you can’t paddle, it’s pleasant to float.

*

It could all go wrong or it might just go right…

Are you flat on your back… or about to take flight?

With a tweak in perspective, you could go so far…

With your feet in the air you could walk on a star!
