Horace's Turtle Soup
Horace the tortoise was ready to dine
He ordered his food, while the waiter poured wine
They bought the first course, (a huge bowl of soup)
But, the bowl had a rabbit who was swimming in loops!!
"Oh waiter! Come quickly!"..."There's a hare in my soup!!"
And soon other patrons, had circled in groups
Their eyes were astonished, as that hare took a swim
splashing the broth, and wearing a grin
"This is disgusting"!! "Oh my! A disgrace!!"
"It's that same rascal rabbit...from yesterday's race!!"
He is out for revenge! Now he's slurping my food
"He's that same trouble maker....who is up to no good!
"Help! Call the management! Please call the cops!"
"He's doing a backstroke while splashing a lot,...
Can't you see how he's slopped all my soup from the pot?"
Tired of swimming, we watched how he hopped right
out of the soup bowl without mopping up
He jumped from the table, and down to the floor
grabbing the salad, and hopped out the door!
Leaving a puddle, without looking back,
while leaving the tortoise just holding the check!
