So Long Sammy Snail - Nursery Rhyme

My new best friend was Sammy Snail
I found him slithering in my pail
I tried to keep him without fail
But from my pail he did abseil!
Our kitchen wall he tried to scale
Dad took him out, I start to wail
my little face it turned quite pale
I really miss dear Sammy Snail

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 4/12/2021 9:26:00 PM A great entry for the contest Jan. Many poets come from children who are read nursery rhymes when small. I think it is our duty to inspire them.

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/11/2021 5:06:00 PM i'm going back to nursery school for vocabulary training on words like 'abseil.' ~ My Face is Turning Pail Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 4/13/2021 2:12:00 PM yeah it may be a bit tricky for little ones to read lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta Date: 4/11/2021 12:04:00 PM Wail the snail! Loved your poem, but we must discourage children from making friends with snails, especially now that the family dog can bring rat lungworm disease into the family home! Aloha!
