Penguins waddle and snakes may slither
Some hesitate and others dither
Maybe slow, but not the slowest
Maybe low, but not the lowest

It may look bad
No matter what the number
But not a total fail
Embarrassing
But not a total blunder
A turtle is not slower than a snail

To slide on slime or crawl in the dirt
To come in last can really hurt
Some may rush and some may hurry
But it's just a rat race so what's the worry?
