Run or Walk

by JLR

Run,
run hard,
don't look back
for certain you'll
wobble, stumble, tumble, go down...so fast,

it's likely you'd scrape your big fat bottom.
What a sad sight
it would be
to see
you!

Walk,
walk slow,
a snail's pace
would be the trick!
simply slithering, dithering along.

Oh sure, it will take you so very long,
but rest assured,
take the time...
all you
need!
