There once was a tortoise,
And there once was a hare,
Who, for some odd purpose,
Started a race that wasn’t fair,
The tortoise obviously wasn’t much of a racer,
And the hare, out of the two, was easily faster,
At the start of the race the hare was first placer,
But for this hare, the race meant disaster,
For, believing he had an extremely large lead,
The hare decided to stop for a nap,
You could see this was a very bad move indeed,
For the tortoise slowly began to close the gap,
While the hare continued to sleep dreamily on,
The tortoise steadily continued to run,
Until he passed the hare, resting on the lawn,
Putting an end to the sleepy hare’s fun,
By the time the hare awoke from his slumber,
He could tell although the tortoise was slower, he was the dumber,
For as the hare slept for most of the day,
The tortoise crossed the finish line, in a slow and steady way
