The Relativity of Speed (a Tanka)
...is when a small snail
Hangs tight to a turtle shell
While the turtle sails
At full speed running like hell
The snail will yell: Please, SLOW DOWN!

Hi, Wally—
I know where you're going with this, but there's a bump in the road:
...is when a small snail
Sitting on a turtle shell
And the turtle sails
I think either you forgot an 'is' before 'Sitting'?

Thanks Ahavati,
I struggled with the syntax and flow to this for a couple of days. I changed it a bit.
I do have to say that the SHATs (Senryus, Haikus and Tankas) are a challenge for me.
Be on the look out for my SHATs later on.
