Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

A Bad Hare Day

Aesop writes about an unlikely pair

     A race betwixt a turtle and a hare

          While the hare fiddled around

               The wily turtle gained ground

                    Resulting in the hare losing the dare

Joe Flach January 11, 2011 at 10:53 AM Bob, I guess we both suffer from that horrible, "bad pun" affliction. Warped minds think alike. Nice Limerick. Joe
