Shellshocked: True Tale of Tortoise & Hare
January 15, 2014
Once there was a tortoise, brown with age.
He dare a c*** hare, still young as spring,
To join him in a race, in time and pace,
The winner promise quite a handsome wage.
Hare, haughty, cocky, bold, agreed to run
The silly challenge, but of course he'd win!
Tortoise, old and wise, would alter glee
Of course he could beat hare, his younger kin.
The starting line, it loomed before the friends
Gun shot sounded and the race was on.
The tortoise lunged ahead, old lungs, they heaved.
Hare lay still on the ground, hunter gone.
