In Defence Of The Snail

In defence of the snail that slimes on the floor
I went into Unwins and stood by the door
And said "All you boozers with fags in your mouth
Get back in your cruisers and head for the south
Where a rally is planned for the day after next
And the snails of the land shall all read from a text
Extolling their sliminess, lauding their shells,
Applauding their timeliness, ringing their bells
So get to the coast where the rally shall be
And then you can boast that the snails did you see".
My message delivered I left them once more
And joy bought a shiver as I left that door,
Defending the snails made me feel really good
All sadness pales when you've done what you should,
And so now to Scotland I'll go then to Wales,
Spreading the news of the rally of snails.
