Oh slippery slow coach
Of the garden jungle
Who roams
Wherever you please
You nomad
With your aureole home
You define
What it is to be free
Travelling along
At a pace of your choosing
No cares
Except for one
Forever alert
For the hungry bird
Who would
Gobble you down
To its tum
Oh slimey drifter
Destroyer of veggies
You are loathed
For the food that you eat
Leaving a hole
Wherever you go
On the leaves
Of your lovely green feast
Oh trailblazing traveller
With your protuberant eyes
Telescopic to the point of confusion
What do you see when you look at me
When I gaze down at you in my musings?
Oh cochela! Most ancient gastropod
You\'ve been here for aeons and aeons
But to me you will be
The sailor of green seas
The pirate, the adventurer
The seeker
So to you humble snail
This poem is yours
A Tribute to magnificent you
And I\'d just like to say
That I love your ways
And all of your funky moves
