A Snail Named Dale
A snail's adventures at Yale and in Jail

There once was a snail named Dale
Who had just graduated from Yale
He began to sail over the wale
To escape the swale
While finding a vale
In the country of Wales
Searching for a sale
On a shiny new flail
And the Divine Holy Grail
While munchin’ on some kale with a tankard of ale
And jammin’ to the rockin’ storm of Hale
When he sailed
It began to hail
In a frigid gale
But then he lost his pail and went off the rails
And now the law is on his tail
Doing his best not to leave a trail
He was caught by a whale and ended up in jail
He began to wail
His face turning pale
Thinking how to bail
Praying he doesn’t fail
Or slide over a nail
Now he’s in jail
In a cell made of shale
With a snail named Mikhail
Where there’s no regale
The food is always stale
One day he got some mail
That was written in braille
Delivered by a quail
From a snail named Gail
Suggesting he bail
And write the next chapter of his epic tale
Reviewing his philosophy and his quale
In the end he would prevail
Poets, writers and bards alike, all passing down his epic tale
In full detail
Of how his plan had become derailed
All of the obstacles he had assailed
And the facing of the justice scales
