Don’t Mess With The Snail

Hey, stop right there, you human being,

Don’t you dare call me a worthless snail

Who wanders across the kitchen floor

Messily oozing a slimy trail.

You’ve no idea who I really am,

So, pay attention and let’s be clear:

I’m a deadly gastropod mollusc

–a stone-cold assassin you should fear.

Unconvinced and think that I’m bluffing?

Then do me a favour, stay quite still,

And at 0.03 m.p.h.,

I’ll ruthlessly move in for the kill.
