The Tortoise and the Hare Go to School


Today’s the day I gotta go fast

I’ll get there first it will be a blast!

 

Don’t rush me mom, I’m so tired

Getting to school doesn’t seem so dire.

 

My first assignment I got this!

I’ll hurry through, who cares what I miss!

 

This assignment takes lots of time

I’ll take it slow, mistakes are a crime.

 

I’m the first one done oh look at that!

Checking my work in 5 seconds flat!

 

One last glance to see it’s correct

All looks well and perfect.

 

Wait, what is this!

An F for my work, what a miss!

 

All of my work paid off for sure

A 100% I did procure!
