Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Turtlely Spaced Out

I be a giant turtle with

The whole of Earth upon my back.

Got conjured up in human myth,

Humans have such conjuring knack.

So why a turtle some do ask?

Perseverance, longevity

Make me well chosen for this task,

Carrying the world upon me.

I know that science now disputes

This turtle having such a role,

My tripping out earthly pursuits.

Science has to feel in control.

Going through space and time will tell

If I keep Earth upon my shell.
