Thoughts of a Turtle I feel a bit like a turtle today Watching the speed of the rabbits in play They’re whizzing by to the breakfast field I’ll get there but at a slower yield I don’t know why their in such a rush For that’s what makes for the mornings crush Eggs are eggs and toast is toast It makes no difference to the host. I like a slower pace much more But to a rabbit it is a bore They race around the track in speed Do you really think there is the need? To me the end is but an end It is for foe and for the friend It lays there just beyond in wait And believe me friend you wont be late. So do not race your life away Enjoy what time you have to stay. |

Morning. I think even a turtle is faster than me in the morning. I have one speed and that is super slow more like a snail. LOL Good one. Bon-Bon |

Rabbits live two years in the wild..... even a box turtle lives 50, and that's short for a turtle....but of course, he's faster than most -- speed kills! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Seymour, As you might have noticed, my comments are always a little "turtlish" lol....I am slow to get going in the mornings. I never did know what the rush was all about. Blessed am I to be able to savour my tea and toast each new day. Speaking of which....strawberry preserves on your toast this Sunday? Yummy. hugs, Chris  |

Sy...when you slow down, you have more chance to think about the value of things, like breakfast.  |

If you don't mind, I'm going to frame this... and show it to the next person who tries to hurry me! LOL Or maybe send it to someone who never slows down... or both! LOL I needed these smiles, my friend... |
