Except In Story. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Rabbits are lazy
Not in real terms
But in stories
The story of rabbit and tortoise
That rabbits runs in fast
Takes the rest midway
Hoping for the slowness of rival
Tortoise tries for a victory
And ends with triumphant
Is it only a story for story's sake
A moral to teach the little one
In fact rabbits are speedier always
But tortoise a best swimmer in water
And clever always to hide the head
Where rabbit finds the rescue in run
How the moral story have influenced
Where it has relevance still
In little children's minds
To make them speedier in decisions
The lazy ones that fails in life
The rabbits they continues to run
Unfortunate they are hunted by poachers
With a shot kills for a catch
Nothing saves their life except in story.
