Vintage Limerick - The Adventures of Sunny Jim and Dismal David

There was a phenomenal snail 
Whose body was nearly all tail
He cried with delight
On that wonderful sight -
Such a marvellous tail for a snail.

The Humble, Brown Snail - Limericks for Children

Consider the humble, brown snail
He's only a head and a tail
No fingers or toes
Yet, there it goes!
Just follow its shiny, bright trail.
