We gotta work together
For a world of peace
Gotta turn ourselves around
Gotta sign a new lease
No one lives forever
Shouldn’t have to be told
But a lot of us will see
What it’s like to get old.

When we reach the end
There will be one flock
One union leader … He’s the “Heavenly Doc”
Yes, Blue Cross is great
On Earth it works well
But it won’t be accepted
In Heaven or Hell

One time I hatched about 80 snapping turtle eggs. The baby turtles’ shells were remarkably small compared to a full grown snapper. The shell was the size of my thumbnail. The head and neck stuck out.

Something that I’ll bet a lot of people don’t know is that baby snapping turtles meet up with their mother some time after being born. I saw this one day while going down the “Town River” in a john boat with Dad and my brother. We came around a bend and there was a huge snapper with tens of babies climbing all around it on land. They ran like heck. I don’t know how long it takes a snapping turtle to grow up, but these were not newborns. The shells were probably 2 inches in diameter.

Imagine something so grotesque as a mother snapper, loving her babies.

What the world needs now. Love sweet love.
