The Second Mouse Gets the Cheese:
The Second Mouse Gets the Cheese:
Do not arrive late
or everyone will declaim
what has been written
You have to be the Robin
not the predetermined worm

Nice tanka, Dawn! Reminds me of the axiom that history is written by the winners.
Sorry, I meant to call you Winter.
Kevin, it’s totally fine. My closest friends call me Dawn😎
Yes, the early bird
gets the best pick of all worms.
It’s easy to look
like you are the best if first.
Late or last just gets you laughs.
Great piece!
