The Tortoise and the Hare

I remember it was this day 21st of June 
I sauntered into a famous furniture mart.
They have developed a hotel type room. 
They offer the customers a unique feel.
 
With advance free booking for two hours
To relax and test a mattress in a bed room,
The room with facilities of TV and stereo.
Even the customers are told to bring pajamas.

As I snoozed for more than stipulated hours,
I did loose to choose to snooze 300 dollars.
Though I have read and taken a candid lesson 
 From Aesop’s fable The Tortoise and the Hare.
================================

For the contest :  You snooze you choose by Nikko Palmario

I think I forgot to enter the poem in the contest.
