Sam Snail

Sam Snail's 
   in jail

He got 
   blackmailed

No chance
   for bail

No phone
   no mail

No greens
   or kale

The bread's
   real stale

He looks 
   quite frail

His face
   all pale
  
His heart
   has failed

Don't cry
   Don't wail

They serve
   him ale

I'm not sure whether I'm the corned beef or the condiments --- just to be on a roll! Thanks for all of your nice comments! Warmest wishes, Gershon

Poor Sam seems to be having a run of bad luck, but his chances of escape probably aren't good, however. :0
