I'm talking to a snail right now
and so my speech I must slow down.
"Heeeellllloooo, my snail friend, can you talk?
I will not interrupt your walk.
"But there are things I'd like to know
like why your family moves so slow.
And must you always leave your slime?
I see its traces all the time!
"Do you like butterflies and bees?
And can you climb? Do you like trees?
Are you a grape or orange fan?
A fan of apples, like I am?
"Do snails eat bugs, or bugs eat snails,
and can I maybe see your tail?"
I waited for the snail to speak
but in my waiting, fell asleep!
When I awoke the snail was gone.
It made me wonder, Do snails yawn?
I guess that's where my snail tale ends
but I am sure we're still best friends.
