There’s a snail in my garden
Hiding in its shell
I’m not sure where it’s been
It’s sometimes hard to tell
There is one thing that troubles me
And causes me some doubt.
The answer to this question:
Is it in or out?

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

I have a theory that you can make ANYTHING palatable with the addition of enough garlic. Escargots do seem like an attempt to test that!

An interesting challenging poem Al. It reminds me of the story of a mother skunk and two young skunks called “In” and “Out”. The story revolved around the young ones joyous antics and the punch line was
“In stint”
