The Turtle Rabbit Dilemma

Are you a turtle?
Or are you a rabbit?
In life my turtle wants to keep going
But my rabbit wants to quit
Should I be persistent
Or should I rest a bit
Just one more hurled and
I 'm almost over the fence
So I don’t have to worry
Yeah I can take a rest
But if I rest to long
And do not wake
I could burn the cake
And that would be a mistake
My turtle says finish the work before you rest
Has often been said
But my rabbit says if you work to hard without a brake
You might fall over dead
So are you a rabbit?
Or are you a turtle?
