On The Trail Of The Lonesome Snail.

Some say the snail

leaves a bright trail

to find his way home

when he's out all alone

in the night.

But everyone knows

wherever he goes

his home goes as well

in the form of his shell.

Isn't that right?



Whatever he meets,

no need to retreat,

except back in his shell,

there all safe and well,

in out of sight.

As for the trail

all silver and shiny,

is it 'cause the snail

is so very very slimy?

Well it might!
