B.Y.O.C (Bring Your Own Crackers)

You know the story of the Tortoise and the Hare
But I'll bet you didn't know that I was there

I was mighty hungry and looking for some dinner
I decided right there I was gonna eat the winner

That rabbit looked tasty I have to admit
But that turtle was resilient he just wouldn't quit

When the race was over I snuck away from the group
Now you're invited to a dinner, we're having turtle soup
