It's good to have a chuckle now and then to help even out some of the negatives that seem to pop up way too often. Sammy is such a cute little guy, and I'm still smiling!

This a quite hammy poem. It is delightful. The imagery is amusing and will draw the reader in. The reader will be invited to contemplate a different attitude toward snails if need be. Some readers will already have an appreciative viewpoint toward them. The use of personification brings fun animation to this poem. Well written.

    Isn't Sammy just adorable. I'll have to find a companion cartoon for his mate and do another poem. I lenjoy love stories in a form. I'm pleased you enjoyed my silly Limerick.

This is a truly excellent limerick. First of all, it is clever and amusing, as a limerick should be. Also, the meter is PERFECT. I'm impressed because I read so many limericks with meter all over the map! Bravo!

This is a fun Limerick Sally, unique and cute about this snail who met his match after buying a heater, but wouldn't this make his home hotter? Ha ha ha, love Dolly x

    I'm glad you enjoyed my silliness once more. A snail love story of Sammy's moist environment alienated by a space heater. Sending you my best today as always,

I enjoyed your limerick about Sammy the Snail, Sally. Your words are in good form for a limerick. Your lines read smoothly. The image is a good pairing with your fun words. I like the he/she snail references. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love, Jan

    Thank you, dear Jan. I'm glad you enjoyed my silly Limerick and love story within. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Ha, ha! This is a fun, nonsense poem. It's humorous, and I like the rhyming pattern. And the presentation works well with the image selected, and with the snail's pink shell.

Thank you for providing me with a chuckle {smiles}.

    To me, this is one wise snail. No wonder he enticed the girl. I'm glad you enjoyed my silliness, yet again.

Love how Sammy not only solves his problem by getting a heater, but seems to gain a relationship in the process. What i don't like is being out of sixes again. Sammy sure gave me quite a giggle, though. Love the share!

What a fun little guy.... but I bet he leaves 'trails' in his underwear (and everywhere else for that matter!!)... LOL! ;) Thanx so much for the 'Sammy smiles', Lady Sal -- be sure to pop back in and capitalize 'Hammy' before she gets a complex...LOL! ;) :) Yvette

    Thank you my dear poet and friend. I'm glad you enjoyed my silliest Limerick yet. Hammy meaning:. Someone who is dramatic, or a overly theatrical, whereas, I think you saw it as her name, Hammy.

    Sally Law is quite hammy. :)

    Sending you my best today as always with many thanks,

Lol! That's cute! I don't think Amazon carries that size "space heater." The only thing is technically, most snails have both male and female parts so they can fertilize each other and both lay eggs. This is dismaying to me as then there are more critters feasting on my plants!

    The circle of life, what can I say. Surely, snails have a love life. I'm so please you to make you laugh and smile today. I'm really sorry about your plants though.

Nothing like a space heater to win a girl's heart. lol.

Such a cute limerick and picture. It's good to read something light and amusing. We need more of that.
