TEAM TORTOISE
By Paul Santon (pictured at left above)
Team Tortoise we are, pedal here pedal there
Yes we know we are not faster than the Hares
But eventually we get there
Yellow T-shirt we wear to stand out from the rest
I tell you all, we are simply the best
We are an enthusiastic bunch of blokes with lots of determination
That is what gets us to the destination
Half way we stop for breakfast, a chat, a joke and laughter
That somehow makes us go that little bit faster
Riding along paths and beaut beaches
Looking out also for ditches
We are finally at the end of our tour
And I’m glad we all endured
A shake of hand and a smile is that that’s required
For us all to retire
And I say “see you next time Team Tortoise”
