Notes About The Poem

The Colorado Trail, Revisited

I have grown old and slow and soft,
and my herd has all run oft,
but I still have my trusty friend the snail...
on the Colorado Trail.

It sounds like the snail has become a good pet and if you get lost on the trail....well, you know....escargote.

haha, what you said about escargot might explain why he's always keeping an eye on me. I think he has trust issues - lol.
