The Haughty Snail-king
twelve snails went walking after night.
They'd creep an inch or so, then stop and bug their eyes.
and blow.
some folks are deadly slow.
Twelve snails went walking yestereve, led by their fat old king.
They were so dull their princeling had no sceptre, robe or ring-
only a paper cap to wear when nightly journeying.
This king-snail said: "I feel a thought within....it blossoms soon...O little courtiers of mine..I crave a pretty boon... oh, yes, (high thoughts with effort come. And well-bred snails are ALMOST dumb). "I wish i had a yellow crown as glistering...as...the moon."

But you are rad, so if that makes you happy then it must be rad as well!
Goodnight.
