Floral Pink Snail From the Sixties
Pink sixties floral design on the back of this snail so gay,
I look and ponder, wondering who owned it once upon a….
Was it an older woman, with snow white hair and wrinkles
Or a young girl wearing a pinafore whose ribbons were in crinkles
Stories parade into my head, making me smile like a mime.
This lovely snail is darling, a fashion statement of the time.
I pick it up and think about taking it home with me.
She could sit on the edge of a doily while I drink my tea.
Before I can pick it up, an older gentleman comes by.
He picks up that floral snail and gives a long earned sigh.
My granddaughter used to have one, he said, speaking to me.
I wonder if she would like this one while she drinks her tea?
