snail popping

June challenge, only a week late innit. I have a compulsion to pluck snails off the walls I see them on. They deserved a shout out.

Snail Popping 19/6/21

little spirals on the wall,

knock ’em down and watch ’em fall.

slimy boys and slowy boys,

underfoot be perfect poised.

count ’em up and throw ’em far

fences, hedges, where they are.

dusk and dawn and rain and shine,

time don’t matter, sure it’s fine.

things crawl so long to be there,

knock ’em down ’cause I don’t care.
