Another tale of Sidney the snail

 SIDNEY THE SNAIL

A SNAIL’S TALE

 

Sidney the snail thought,

His shell was slowing him down,

So he crawled out of his shell,

And left it lying on the ground.

 

But Sidney didn’t pick up speed.

What he thought, was rubbish.

Without his shell in which to dwell,

Sidney the Snail just felt sluggish.

Maybe he also needs to come out of the closet. On second, thought, let him alone. The naked world has enough problems.

Poor Sidney the Snail!
Only it did know that speed is not one of a Snail's blessings.
Another good one from you, Michael, keep them coming!
