Shell-Shocked!

(With apologies to Aesop!)

“Hurrah!" cried Tortoise, after the race;

Now, who's the one, with egg on their face!"

Gloating and boasting; self-praising was he;

Failed to notice, a Lamborghini!

No time for life to, flash before his eyes;

Tortoise met with a speedy demise!

Hare hopped on by, with more swag than before:

“Tortoise won the battle, but I won the war!"

Ha, Ha I thought the tortoise was getting into the Lamborghini to cheat the race at first. Good reworking ?
