Excellent a poem 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.   Author Notes Image from Google
