Spurred on by the Roadrunner's beep...

Tortoise's Song
Tortoise’s Song
A shy Tortoise I remain-
Who from publicity does refrain
On a march so slow
When I see ‘then’ I withdraw!!

For an exotic meal I pursued,
Not expecting one that did include,
Some baked tortoise tails
Amongst a plate of snails...
But I think I’ll just stick to fast food....

Window Seat
Sitting on my window seat,
A world below, a world complete.
People passing people by,
No time to question who or why.
Man with green bag, going where?
If he's the tortoise, where's the hare?...

Bunny Flop
a limerick by Wayne Wysocki
The tortoise and hare had a race
But the rabbit came in second place
So the notion that speed
Makes the win guaranteed
Just isn't always the case....

See, We Are Free
Trees were our tortoise shell,
Which down-down we fell;
We stand now on dead stems,
Cheering – See, we’re free!!

I Wish I Was a Tortoise
A stubborn old Taurus
I wish I was a tortoise
To live life at a reasonable pace
But more on topic
I'm agoraphobic
I could go out never leaving my place

Simple Things
Hot bath in the morning
Swiping for hours
favorite food on plate
slow and steady
Like a tortoise against a hare
Content with small fishes from a pond
When there's a huge ocean just steps away
Is the ship sailing without a destination?...
