A Manatee's Pace

Awakened with need to visit restroom, did make that run
Dizziness hits with faintiness, feelings of passing totalily out, falling
Ambulance was called early in morn; Princess could have outrun
How could anything so slow bounce and twist when crawling
Snail's pace arrived alive, then Manatee pace looked after appalling

Way to do the challenge, Sara. I might look thru old etheree poems and try to find one that used fifty words more or less and just play with it. I am dying to do the rictometer contest too.
