At a Snails Crawl

A Snail is small and empowered
Even, but then
He seem's to do it all
On just one single mission
With just one single crawl
He doe's it at his own pace
Thou he barely wins' a race
Sure he has his up's and downs
Buy who then will take his place
And vicariously stick around
You may not see him at all
Till the end of the race is done
Unless, you are in the right place
Specificaly if you block the sun
                      -And-
Unless you just happen
To be a passer by
And in the right place
At the right time
Or what ever may-be,
Or may-be not be
Don't just you merely sigh
              -Fore-
Just in inches' he just
           Inches' by
And with just a little smile
He will inch a mile
Opp's another one just
Went by,
And they are in single file
Headed for the last mile
