Exceptional a story poem Worlds : Sloth Race by Bill Schott Share A Story In A Poem contest entry

Once upon a moment past there was a silly race it was between a sloth and hare and also What's-his-face The three got ready and got set then off the rabbit sped the hare was out of sight at once the other two seemed dead The sloth was found to have a pulse and tortoise moved an inch the hare was fairly far ahead his victory a cinch The tortoise muttered something like, "I may be slow, but sure." meanwhile hare had spanned the globe and lapped them in a blur Sloth had slowly stretched his arm and tortoise tripped and rolled onto his back and could not move or so it has been told Bunny broke all records set prior to that day turtle went home to recoup or in a soup some say Sloth would end up winning when the finish line was crossed 'cause hare turned left in Albuquerque and after that was lost The moral of the story is (beyond that hare got "effed") the winner's not always the fleet but sometimes who is left.
