a picturesque community where snails dwell
overlaid various variations of greenery
amidst fresh fragile flourishing flowers
careful, don't step in the slime trail
behind the mayor and his wife
handsome Dale and lovely Gale
they're Giant Land Snails
steadily sliding along next to them
Martingale and Monorail adopted
twin African snails - Berail and Derail
you must know while you're here
there is something we all fear
the owner of Frenchies Bistro
Sinister Mister French Stench
and his Wicked Chef, Chaff
setting traps taking our friends
serving them in his specialty
unique garlic broiled escargot
yesterday two-families disappeared
brothers Tweed and Tweedle
there little sister Dovetail
dad Bobtail, mom Ponytail
and a group of friends
Ale, Brail, Bewail, and Borrell
none of them to be seen again
unless you ate Chaff's Specialty
