Dog V Tortoise Poem by Emmanuel Ayodele

Dog V Tortoise



Dog; Oh! you little creature
with many disgusting features

Tortoise; Good day fellow
with a backing nature

Dog;After all i make foe
run farther

Tortoise; You are right
but not for your own good
am not wrong either

Dog; Life is a race am not sure
you il make it, with ur heavy foot

Tortoise; Am not after the race
but the goodies that falls off life's
loaded suit

Dog; Hangh hangh, i laugh
you slow creature how much
can you scope

Tortoise; Slow and steady
better Than a teddy
i see many...(you can't when you
speed) even without a microscope

Dog; Anyways, i have a high class
only i can walk with the higher
animals

Tortoise; All animals are equal, but some are more equal than the other

Dog; That a big short far from goal

Tortoise; Rope on their hands
tied to your throat
that can't be me, when am not a
goat, that chew back and fort
mouth and throat

Dog; Whom do you compare that
senseless beast?

Tortoise; The disgusting fellow
who hope for falling crumbs
of human feast

Dog; So painful i wasted my time
talking, i need go home

Tortoise; So painful you brag
your outside home

Dog; My personal building

Tortoise; Behind bars, around
in chains, subject to foreign directives

Dog; Hmm, you think you know
so much

Tortoise; Thanks, it doesn't matter much

Dog; why thanks? not a compliment

Tortoise; It sounds like one, after all
am half baked

Dog; I see, if you were in my shoes
you il be a slave and a thief

Tortoise; You missed, i il be a boss
not at the gate, with gentle songs
and lovely tales, laughs, smile and rest il cuddle the whole village

The dog soon left in shame and his pride dropped off his pompous tale
