Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHAIJKLMNOPQQF QQQRSD| She was a coat of arms | A |
| seasoned for the job tough | B |
| and polished like tortoise shell | C |
| When the women were tougher | D |
| she'd tuck her advice giving head | E |
| back against the executive chair | F |
| let them try to fluff bent feathers | G |
| watch them falling to their feet | H |
| Then her little turtle arms | A |
| would stretch out across the desk | I |
| try to float a form | J |
| a restraining order maybe | K |
| a list of early warning signs | L |
| but they'd keep on sleeping sleep | M |
| hard through the sessions she'd spend | N |
| blowing on plastic ships paper sails | O |
| rarely reaching port and they would cry | P |
| like little children watching helpless | Q |
| dazed as she sunk their dreamboats | Q |
| sat on them no coming up for air | F |
| And perhaps she'd think of the little turtles | Q |
| we'd kept confined to bathtubs as kids | Q |
| or of the public safety commercials | Q |
| telling mother how if she turned her back | R |
| we could fall to sleep slide and drown | S |
| in barely an inch of sitting water | D |
