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!
