A chapter in the book Worlds

Snail World 10

by Bill Schott



Two snails met to run a race,

found a slug to set the pace;

all set for the quarter mile,

then thought that might take awhile.


Passing inch worms said, "A-hem,"

gave advice to both of them;

"Take the sidewalk down the block,

beat each other and the clock."


Off they sped, a race to win,

sidewalk scratched their snaily skin;

one pulled ahead at the end,

and beat his other snail friend.


No sad mollusk left that day,

happily they slunk away;

Now with garlic, butter, wine--

they will be on what I dine.
