Tortoise and Ant-Hill

TORTOISE AND ANT-HILL Tortoise: this thing that looks so much like me What are you good in? Do I benefit that you have a hunch-back like me? Or that you don’t puzzle me each time I have the- Inclination to climb on top of you Even if fortuitously I succeed Won’t I be a tragedy in coming down? Or is it the goodies you have, that I benefit from? Ant-hill: I’m good as a faithful instrument- Used for protection, but never in charge And is because of people like you Now, let me ask you tricky being! If you are in my shoe, won’t you- Try to be in charge? So, I’m good at, what you are good in And I’m bad at, what you are bad in!
