Beach Blues: Forever in Diapers — A Turtle’s Sunburned Meltdown

A sand‑covered female turtle sits on a beach looking exasperated while bikini‑clad women stand near the water. A male turtle huffs in the background, and a wooden sign reads “Turtle Soup Farm.” The scene is bright, sunny, and humorous.

“Beach Blues: Forever in Diapers”

I was once a beautiful female turtle, covered in sand,

Trying to lay my eggs on my favorite plot of land.

Then I saw those sexy bikini girls, oh, if I only could…

Look like that, instead of lighting fires under husband’s hood.

I keep on wishing; then again, the children. Darn

One of these days I’ll be ready for the turtle soup farm.

No children, no sexy bikini, and best of all…

NO husband!
