These snails, which snap up everything,
have got a bloody nerve,
they've snaffled my clematis
with my seedlings for hors-d’oeuvre

When you see a gastropod.
no matter where it loiters,
always claim the full ten points,
twenty if in coitus.

God! Out in the midday sun!
No sense of any shame!
Who cares if they're having fun?
Crush 'em all the same!
