Poem
Part 2 Now pay close attention to what I say next, For though the ending is thrilling, what follows is best. We all like believing that Rabbit's the creep, But don't for a second, think that reptiles don't cheat. "Oh no, don't go on", you say This all sounds too corny." But isn't it obvious, all the holes in this story. And I'm sure you're all thinking, "What's the point of this tale?" Or perhaps, "This is starting, to sound a bit stale." Of course Ears will win. Standing still he's still fast, Sheldon........ eventually, Will indubitably come last. And, while yes, I suppose, That's a reasonable outcome, That's not how this story goes. The real story's ending, Is way better by far, For there's more to this tale than you know. For should you be thinking, Sheldon's thinking be slow, Just because that's, how he gets where he goes. You'd be mistaken for calling, him Tortoise Gump, And the blood wasn't warm, that through his veins pumped. So, while coming in first, Would mean he was the best That he'd finally have, street cred with the rest. This wasn't enough as, for a tortoise long taunted. The resolve to get even, remained fiercely undaunted. So with this all in mind And going back a few hours. To the night before race day 'Neath a sky filled with clouds. Out on the race course, Around two miles along. Sat a rock on the race track, Where rocks don't belong. And strange though this was, stranger yet still, When the rock then grew legs, And took to the hills. This being said, upon the track, Two mile mark ahead, Rabbit, in a hurry, Spied a sign which said: If you're one of two, Who are running in a race, You better take the next road left, If you want to take first place. It's at this point there are two things, Which become evidently clearer, One - Rabbit wasn't very smart and, Two - be careful of fake media. For off dashed rabbit, turning left, Though his GPS said right, To - Your - Left, the sign read, That next came into sight. And, still further along, Painted in white, An arrow that pointed, Most opposing to right. So rabbit ran circles As the sun climbed ever higher Till, around about noon, Bunny felt himself tire. "Tortoise can't win," He said with a smile And spying some shade, Thought to rest For awhile. end part 2
