Testudinate … Walk

Today’s word is “testudinate” … turtle. (Dictionary.com)

Walk
There is a little fable,
Of how a turtle won a race,
Though this testudinate,
Had a pokey pace.

He just kept on going,
Inch by inch by inch,
There was one sad rabbit,
Who gave himself a pinch.

But by the time the rabbit wakened,
The finish had been crossed,
The underestimated turtle,
Was not the one who lost.
