Miscellaneous

The escargots attack,
They hide their guns 
On their spiral shells,
Be careful, Giants.

You think, you think,
But you do nothing,
It’s like watching
A sailboat, set sail
Heading for the moon.

A felucca on the Nile,
A white and round veil,
The soothing under the sun
Won the whole crew.

This was such fun Yann ! I did not know snails hid their guns on their shells. It also was a surprise to see a sailboat heading for the moon. I thought a more fitting destination for a sailboat would be a star, but the moon ? Well fancy that ! The only one that didn't really challenge my thought waves was the felucca on the Nile, but I loved seeing it and the crew in the sun. SUCH FUN !
