In order to make this relevant to petc, I'll construct an on-the-spot
'snap', as will follow the BBC video-'snap' URL about Brian the Giant Sea
Snail: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/england/7606497.stm
ODE TO A SNAIL
Brian, you cruise so slow
vaccuuming sea bits to eat
glad you're in B'Ham's
Natl Sea Life Ctr---not pronged
on a Singapore fork
p'raps, after hours, I could pry you
from your cushy Sea Life seabed
and introduce you to mine
we could make beautiful golf-ball-sized
pearls together, nah?
My irritations, your pearlescence:
success!
but, Brian, should your pearlescence fail
there's always my little boat to bail
and my seafoody appetite to whet
--------
