The ancient fabulist Aesop created the story "The Hare and the Tortoise." It has been retold in
different forms throughout the centuries.
"Races aren't for turtles, yo-yo!"
scoffed the rabbit to his rival.
Though I veer off-course, I'll win this.
Speed, for runners, means survival!
"Never underestimate me,"
said the turtle to the rabbit.
"Faster, faster is your mantra.
Slow and watchful is my habit."
******************
Now the trophy's been presented.
Turtle's proud to be the winner.
Rabbit's lost out in the brambles.
Turtle's going home for dinner.
