#225 Nine-Turtle Stack

So Yertle, the Turtle King, lifted his hand
And Yertle, the Turtle King, gave a command.
He ordered nine turtles to swim to his stone
And, using these turtles, he built a new  throne.
He made each turtle stand on another one's back
And he piled them all up in a nine-turtle stack.
And then Yertle climbed up.  He sat down on the pile.
What a wonderful view!  He could see 'most a mile!

And my dad sent me this.  He said that he couldn't find a photo of the band The Turtles.  But he did come up with this:
