At the bottom of my garden,
On a bright and sunny day,
I met a friendly snail,
Who said her name was May.
She told me that she had a dream,
To travel far and wide,
But her big and bulky shell,
Made it such a sluggish ride.
So I went and got a roller skate,
I happily would loan,
So my snail friend,
Became a motor home.
