    The poem is about a little turtle trying to catch different insects and animals like a mosquito, flea, and minnow in a puddle. The speaker, a kid, notes how the turtle snaps and catches the other creatures but is unable to catch the kid. The rhyme scheme uses repetition of words like "box" and "rocks" as well as "flea" and "me." Imagery throughout helps the reader visualize the turtle and its actions in the puddle.
