More Haste, Less Speed

Welcome back to my regular Monday feature where I publish something that looks like it might be a poem but on closer inspection may not be a poem. Is this a poem? You decide…

More Haste, Less Speed

“More haste, less speed!”

Said the Rabbit

This was an odd thing for a rabbit to say,

Because rabbits are not known for their advocacy

Of a cautious approach to anything,

And it was all the more unusual,

Because in general,

Rabbits can’t speak.

But this one could,

And he said,

“More haste, less speed!”
