And I love the song about them in the Danny Kaye movie, "Hans Christian Andersen"... "Inchworm, inchworm,/ Measuring the marigolds./You and your arithmetic,/You'll probably go far."

Ah! Danny Kaye is one of my all-time favorite actors-singers-entertainers. A great, oft-underappreciated talent. Thanks for mentioning the song! Smiles, gw

Dino Martin once sang: Everybody's got snail envy sometime... (Well, actually he didn't. But who remembers what that lush sang, anyway?!) Laughs and Guffaws, Gershon
