SAMMY THE SNAIL
SAMMY THE SNAIL
For Isabel, My M.E. Friend in Wigan
I am Sammy, a little snail,
Snug inside my home.
I can take it with
me,
Wherever I may roam.
You can see it’s
not very big,
But big enough for
me.
In sun, rain, hail
or snow,
It's where I like to
be.
I'm really very shy,
you see,
But not scared to be
alone.
So, in my little
caravan,
I'm happy on my own.
I travel very
slowly,
There's no need to
hurry.
I know people rush
around,
But those people seem
to worry.
So I will slither
slowly,
To where I want to
go,
And if, by chance,
you see me,
Please do stop and
say “Hello”.
