The Tiger and the Snail

What is a snail?

A soft comparison to the tiger

But he cannot help his slow tail

 

Yet the world still tells him

That he is too slow

Too slim

Too calm to win

 

His shell may be stunning

But only speed matters

To those that are running

 

Judgments continue to come in

Even though between a tiger and a snail

The tiger is shoo-in to win
