August! A time to catch the baby snail
Before he has a chance to leave a trail
of holes in leaves, and climbing up the wall,
He makes a getaway before the Fall.
It's June that is the mating time for these -
And broken stems - for them the size of trees
So - what we need - the beak of Mister Thrush
Who with his rhythmic tapping breaks the hush,
So meantime Ben and Keith can take their pick
Removing them from site, complete the Trick.
