The Time-Traveling Turtle

In a clearing of emerald so bright, Where sunbeams danced with pure delight, Lived a turtle, slow and green, The strangest sight you've ever seen!

He stumbled one day, shell hitting the ground, On an old, dusty clock, rarely found. Its hands spun wild, a dizzying spree, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, come travel with me!"

Out popped a fairy, wings shimmering gold, "Hop on, dear turtle, be brave and be bold!" The clock glowed with magic, a portal it made, Ready for journeys, no time to be afraid!

First, to a land of giant ice cream cones, Where sugary mountains met marshmallow zones. Then, swoosh! To a pirate ship, sailing so free, Fighting off sea monsters with glee!

Next, dinosaurs roared in a jungle so deep, While the turtle hid, secrets to keep. Through ancient Egypt, past pharaohs of old, Adventures unfolded, stories untold!

He grabbed a gemstone, sparkly and grand, A feather from dinosaurs in a faraway land, A scroll from the pharaohs, golden and bright, Souvenirs gathered with all of his might.

Back in the clearing, the clock ticked its last, The fairy vanished, the adventure was past. The turtle grinned wide, his shell heavy and full, Of treasures and memories, wonderfully cool!
