I AM THE TORTOISE

 

 

I do ger around a lot and see a lot of places. I like to travel and go to lots of events. The wanderlust is strong in this one.  It’s just that I move at my own pace.  Suffice to say, my own pace is rather slow.  I just putter and stumble along. I’m not fast I am steady and persistent.  In Aesop’s universe, I am definitely the tortoise and not the hare. Of course, we know who ends up winning the race.  But it does leave me with a strong desire to tweak the lyrics to “I Am the Walrus”.  The coo coo Ka-choo kind of starts humming itself as you go.  We can morph it into “I am the Tortoise.”  Where’s Weird Al Yankovic when you need him? 

 

I am the tortoise

Lennon McCartney be damned

lyrics be altered

 

less universal meaning

to suit a hapless dreamer
