The starter's pistol went - the race was on!

The Hare took off and soon was out of sight,

poor Tortoise looked around but he was gone,

he started plodding: left foot after right.

Way down the track the Hare was off the map,

so far in front it really was a shame,

deciding he had time to take a nap

he stopped to rest, and slowly, Tortoise came.

A long while later, plodding past his foe,

the Tortoise had the trophy in the bag,

as Hare slept on, the Tortoise hurried - slow,

until at last he reached the checkered flag.

So, even if your rival is a joke,

don't let him catch you napping - Go for Broke!
