He Can'T Get a Grip of the Problem

Peter wanted to cook some fresh snails
So he followed their silvery trails
He put them in a pot
But a lid he forgot …
Up kitchen walls poor Peter now scales!

Darren White Date: 6/4/2017 7:59:00 AM You are going to laugh hard now.... My little niece Noor loves snails. She collected them in a wooden box, and then when she went to bed, forgot about them, and so did I..... Until in the middle of the night one crawled across my face, I wrote a poem about it, not sure if it's here or blog and facebook only, forgot...

Maurice Rigoler Date: 6/3/2017 4:32:00 PM Your not liking snails will only confirm to every French escargot lover that the English are tasteless diners! I've never eaten one but am willing to try. BTW they're not as popular with the French as they once were. Only one famous restaurant in Paris that serves them. / M Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2017 6:07:00 PM LOL @ 'tasteless diners' you may be right there but I for one wouldn't entertain eating snails lol:-) hugs Jan xx
