Oh what Lightning speed he’s got
Leaving the other animals in thought
Like a flash you barely see
Just a cloud of smoke or three
Slow poke slow poke once was said
The hare so fast he rested instead
Arrogantly sure of himself
He fell behind but he slept well.
Now it’s time to play catch up
But it’s too late the turtles won
Next time don’t underestimate
The one who’s stealth won him the race

Ohhh, I love this kind of fable reboot. What a great perspective to take – and I admire how you can identify a bit with the rabbit getting some good sleep in there. These tales last because they retell so well, and nicely retold here. I love the concept of this line, “Leaving the other animals in thought”
Aww thanks so much for your feedback. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. 🙏🏽😊
