The cat likes to run here and there and you humans sure do it without a care. There is also the rat race too. But we've been there done that at our zoo. A new race is had. Can you keep up at your pad?
Ready, start, go!
Get your ducks in a row.
Hey, some may own ducks.
Cheaper than trucks.
Oh yeah, the race.
Born with a scrunchy face.
Elmer Fudd you resemble.
At least there's no disassemble.
Now you must speak.
Speak fast at your creek.
You must also walk and talk.
Or maybe talk and walk.
Now you must learn quick.
Everything is your pick.
Learn it all and get ahead.
Don't just lie there in bed.
Now you must choose a school.
Those big names sure rule.
Now you must get in and out.
Hmm not talking twist and shout.
That comes very soon.
First a job that shoots for the moon.
Work your way up from day one.
Kiss ass and brown nose a ton.
Now it's the twist and shout.
Let everything hang out.
Get married and have kids.
No time to take bids.
Now raise them really fast.
Back we go to the past.
Elmer Fudd needs to talk right away.
Get on that at your bay.
Walk and talk,
Learn and gawk.
Been there, done that.
Repeat, repeat, repeat each stat.
Now just die.
Wave goodbye.
The race is done.
Wait, you never won?
Pfffft a race is when you run and there is a winner. Not like some The Game Of Life spinner. Get everything that everyone else does. Just much much faster just because. That will prop you up and you'll win. Win what when you are done in? A fancy casket or little urn? Wowee, that is sure something to earn. On racing through life we'll take a pass. But I'll still race around the house with my little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.

Suza!
ReplyDeleteStill on the go
DeleteFast not slow
People want it fast
ReplyDeleteAnd they want it now
Waste of time to me
Rather milk a cow
Not sure I'd rather do that
DeleteCows give off lots of scat
"Slow and steady wins the race"
ReplyDeletenever worked in Nascar, Indy racing, or any racing ever.
Nope, not a chance
DeleteHave to be gone before even a glance
I would rather take life slow enjoy the moments as they come and go.
ReplyDeleteThe finish line is death you know, so I am in no rush for that you silly cat
No rush to get there
DeleteHave eternity to spare
Everything is a race. My second oldest got engaged last year on Valentine's Day. People are already asking him and his girl when they're going to have a baby. They're not even married yet. My son is taking it slow and I'm glad. He's seen a lot of families split up over the years and knows the importance of taking the vows seriously. Thankfully his girl understands (they're such a good fit for each other! I think they're very compatible). I am in their corner, but yeah, life's not a race. Slow is def sometimes better. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, have to do what is best
DeleteFor together they must beat every test
If you rush, splitsville it is
Even worse when kiddos mix into the biz
Sometimes it's tempting to want to rush into things, but I enjoy relaxing and enjoying the moment more :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, much better way
DeleteAt the end of the day
I'd like to say longer but I gotta run...bye!
ReplyDeleteHaha clever
Deletelol gotta nap
DeleteSee ya, chap
Life shouldn't be a race to the finish line. Just take it day by day and enjoy the view!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy what one can see
DeleteAnd just be
The part about the new job
ReplyDeleteKissing ass, smoking grass
Sitting like a big blob
Working with nary a lass
Don't you get angry when that happens?
Yep, so crappy
DeleteLike to blow it off the umm mappy
Sometime in my early adulthood, I noticed that most children seem to run everywhere they go. I took a good honest look at my life as it was then, and wondered "All that running, just to wind up here?"
ReplyDeleteYears later, it occurred to me that children probably run a lot just to keep up with the adults, who have longer legs.
Yeah, they get there in the end
DeleteBut children need to get around the bend
As adults sometimes walk fast
Either way, exercise for the kiddo cast
I prefer a life slug stroll instead of rat race.
ReplyDeleteTake my time, look around, and enjoy the moments. Winner? You bet
Much better win
DeleteThere at your bin
Take my word. I wrote something clever and it got lost in the comment/ether world of the internet. So I will just chill. No need to rush about.
ReplyDeleteI'll pretend to believe
DeleteAs it hid up your sleeve
It's A Race So Keep A Steady Pace!
ReplyDeleteKeeping sane and alert not to chase
There's no hurry
Just being happy
Determined to stay longer with many days
Hank
Hank you are late
DeleteNo number 1 fate
Have a good day!
Many days to relax
DeleteHoping to avoid any unwanted tax
Older I get the slower I like to go
ReplyDeleteIt really helps with the flow.
Betty
Keep the flow going
DeleteGets a finished showing
If there was a race to have kids then I completely missed the starting gun.
ReplyDeleteRan the other way
DeleteSkipped that fray
Todat's the day
ReplyDeleteTo start the fray
The race begins
It spins and spins
Round and round
DeleteStand your ground
I race around a lot, but I'm following my own plan, no one else's.
ReplyDeleteSo much I want to see and experience before I just die!
Getting it all in
DeleteBefore just little old death comes for a spin lol
What about a prancing run?/Surely that must be fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Prance in the nude
DeleteMay get attitude
I'm the turtle in the race:)
ReplyDeleteSlow and steady
DeleteAt the ready
I am right behind Sandra.
ReplyDeleteEven slower
DeleteA race goer
Some visitors from outer space
ReplyDeleteHad question about human race
Confused as they were
Great risks they’d incur
To find what determine first place
Have to searching high and low
DeleteFor that to show
