Gluttony

Two garden snails met by the way,
and one of them had this to say;
“Last night I did manage,
to eat half a cabbage,
now I feel a mite ‘sluggish’ today”.

Hello Andrea ... I would love to write more limericks but there's a time factor. I'm amazed at how many poets can write a number of poems and comment on so many almost every day - thank you Andrea - Lindsay

Thanks again Jan ... I don't know why snails don't choose to eat weeds instead of veggies. If they did, they'd live longer - thanks Jan - Lindsay

Nice one Lindsay. You may have brought that snail stardom... but if he has my magic carrots... he’s done for! Cheers Lindsay. Terry

Hello Terry ... after eating half my cabbage it signed it's own death warrant. I think your magic carrots would confuse it as much as they confused us - thank you Terry - Lindsay
