Dear barb415,

Do these lines look familiar to you?

"Timothy Turtle of Took-a-look Lake
 Timothy Timothy Tim
 Proud of the money he managed to make
 Running the business of Turtle & Drake
 Lived in a style that was easy to take
 Swimmingly-swimmingly
 Swimmingly-swimmingly
 Swimmingly-swimmingly-swim!"

Regards,
Scriptor

Yes, I have heard of this poem and have found the original book last
year of BArens and Noble out of print book search. There are two
Timothy Turtles offered, you want the one written by a man. I promptly
lost my copy AGAIN and am looking for another. It is a great book.

Remember his cupboard filled with goodies and no stomach ache?

It was written by Al Graham, I believe.
