'SLUGGIE'...The Snail

'Sluggie' the snail
Had made his way
Into my life
This sunny Thursday.

He was tiny and fragile
His shell was like glass
I bet he now wishes
He had never slid past
For I have never seen...
A snail move quite so fast..

I wanted to race him..!
Surely not a hard task?

So I found him some friends
They didn't move much
I was bound to win
No chance to come last?

Alas his thin home
Somehow formed a crack
Then it easily crushed
When I patted his back.

My poor little snail
Was 'Sluggie' no more
His new name is 'Sloppy'
And I race him....no more.

Beautiful, I love this dear Poetess Carey Milton, My applause, my love, my vote

Alas his thin home
Somehow formed a crack
Then it easily crushed
When I patted his back.
My poor little snail
Was 'Sluggie' no more
His new name is 'Sloppy'
And I race him....no more.

Regards & Love,

Oh that is so sad Carey honey. Poor little thing has gone to heaven where there are as many lettuce`s as he wants. Rest in Peace dearest Sluggie, we`ll miss you little one. A well written piece Carey, I loved it and so did my grandchildren. Bless you sweety. G xx
