Walking With Snailz

Some people laugh,
Some people scream,
But those people are just plain mean.
When I see a snail I help it out.
And even though I know that snails don’t talk,
I ask it to come for a little walk.
Have you ever tried walking with a snail?
They can be a bit slow.
But the snail I walk with tries to go, go, go!
So next time you see a snail,
Don’t laugh or scream.
Because as I said that is really quite mean.
Ask it to come for a short walk,
And then you’ll see,
How truly nice a snail can be!
