Array ( [sid] => 185048 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Have it YOUR way [time] => 2018-04-18 02:56:03 [hometext] => Leaders dont follow, and Followers dont lead. [bodytext] => The contest was on, in the first room he found;
Two long earred rabbits hopping around.
He chased and he scurried but caught none at all;
Both got away through a hole in the wall.

The next room had ten rabbits all in a row;
He tried running faster to catch one although;
He counted seven and then only four;
They all disappeared thru a hole in the floor.

He pushed at that hole and he strugged and squeezed;
Trying to get to them, down on his knees.
Alas, he got stuck and had to be saved;
And won no awards at the fair on that day.

The winner he heard hadn’t chased them at all;
But merely sat down with his back to the wall.
And grabbed every rabbit as they hopped about;
Blocking the hole so they couldn’t get out.

Follow the recipe of a mistake;
And were bound to end up with the same kind of cake.
Do it your own way;
You know what they say;
At least if we lose;
It wont be the same way!

Wonderful and true! Great poem.
Of course the first person up to a challenge is at a disadvantage of course. Story telling with a great flow.

reads like a nursery rhyme complete with a moral. Well thought out. I will read this to my 9 & 6 year old boys.
