The Turtle

A turtle has no moxie.
It’s probably too boxy.
Must be a living hell
encumbered by that shell.
To let one win a race
would bring lifelong disgrace.
To bolster tortoise pride,
one martyr rabbit died.
The chant of "slow and steady"
makes many snappers heady.
If for bunnies you may care,
don’t talk races to a hare.
