PALS
The old story of the tortoise and hare
caused Kenny the Kitten to stare,
over how that slow-moving tortoise had won,
spoiling hare’s day by defeating his run.
Hare had gone out to a very long lead
thinking the tortoise would have to concede.
But that hard-shelled tortoise doggedly moved
till, taken for granted, he finally proved
that determination may seem like a waste
but persistence pays off in the long term life race.
The moral Ken Kitten learned well and held dear.
His respect for Ted Tortoise was perfectly clear.
Ken protected Ted from all big birds of prey,
while Ted backed up Ken through each scary dog day.
