Rosa Rabbit's first race.
Rosa the Rabbit,
she loved to run.
Racing around to her was fun,
she ran so fast that all would say,
"She could win a race one day."
On racing day, they all placed a bet,
sure she would win the race out flat.
She lined up in the starting box
with Hedgehog, Snail and 'Old Red' the Fox,
"Good luck Rosa make us proud."
Spoke her father out quite loud.
Certain she was going to win
and make the others cheer and grin!
One loud "bang" from the starting gun,
all the runners began to run,
cept Rosa who, paralysed with shock,
never left the starting block!
