Tooter the House Van

I really don't want to point out my oldness but does anyone remember the old cartoon of Tooter the Turtle? Thought not. I think it was the 60's. I have always loved turtles. I have a turtle tattoo and turtles all over the outside of the house van. Turtles are easygoing, patient, wise, steadfast and tranquil. (Kind of describes me, uh?) They are sturdy and have a wrinkled appearance. (No comment) They are the picture of longevity and stability with very long life spans. Turtles carry everything they need on their back. Their shell protects them from any foe. If  life gets to be too much they just hide inside. Kind of says it all. And if the house van is Tooter that lets Luney be a wizard even though he's a cat not a lizard.

TOOTER was a turtle. He was constantly unhappy with his current life and was in the habit of asking Mr Wizard the Lizard, who had magic powers, to change his destiny. Tooter would usually have something in mind that he wanted to be and he would say, “Please Mr Wizard, it’s WHAT I WANT TO BE!” Of course Tooters perceived perfect life never worked out. Mr Wizard would repeatedly rescue him saying, “Drizzle, frazzle, drazzle, drone; time for this one to come home.” After every return to his old life Mr Wizard would always give Tooter the same advice. “Be just vhat you is, not vhat you is not. People vhat do zis is the happiest lot.” Of course having just come back from some bad experience Tooter always shook his head and agreed. He never learned though.
