"The Slow Little Snail"
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
1. |
The snail all cosily may dwell
Within his pretty, rounded shell.
But Oh! the slowpoke, snaily pace
At which he crawls from place to place.

2. |
A house he never means to lack,
So takes it with him on his back.
If we did that, perhaps we'd be
As slow in traveling as he.
