I wanted to make a thread, for all things related to torts in different cultures: songs, sayings, imagery etc.
I'll start
In Afrikaans we have a rhyme
Daar loop 'n skilpad in die pad
Ek tel hom op hy maak my nat
Ek sit hom neer
Hy doen dit weer
Ek haal my pa se haelgeweer
En skiet hom middel deur!
Translation:
There walks a tort in the road
I pick him up he pees on me
I put him down
(Suggested you pick him up again)
He does it once more
I take my fathers shotgun
and shoot him through the middle!
Rather horrific for a children's rhyme but most songs are like that. It may have been a leopard tort this song has been based off, but only years later most people realise how horrific the lyrics are.
So here we go, got anything alike in your culture, feel free to post!
