A Famous Star

Vishnu 
once 
took 
birth
in 
your 
form
long 
long 
ago.

You 
were 
once 
ridiculed
by 
a 
proud 
hare
for 
moving 
slow.

But 
you 
overtook
your 
foolish 
rival
in 
a 
single 
race,
being 
slow 
but 
steady,
and 
thus
you 
taught 
the 
world 
a 
great 
moral.

You 
are 
a 
famous 
star!
