Ode to the Snail

Start writing... My funny snail, you inspire me to write.

I love the way you bounce, prowl and waddle,

Invading my mind day and through the night,

Always dreaming about the huge podoll.

Let me compare you to a dark balloon?

You are more clever, generous and bright.

Light sun heats the empty peaches of June,

And summertime has the right satellite.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love your white elbows, humour and legs.

Thinking of your stark humour fills my days.

My love for you is the comical kegs.

Now I must away with a benchmark heart,

Remember my smart words whilst we're apart.
