Jude a friend of mine has a habit of eating snails,
Her search for food in my garden never fails.
"Why do you eat snails ?"I asked Jude.
"It's cos I don't like eating fast food !
Eating snails makes me feel better,
Better,better,better,better."
Question
are snails really meat pies
in disguise
there is a similarity you know
meaty insides
with crusty tops
and snails can grow
and although rather slow
some are big enough for sharing.
I love the profound last line of your poem.
You've fixed the economy crisis Hugh, let's save money on fast food and forage snails!

I think there is still such a thing as the slow food movement?
I've sacked fast food - those kebabs I used to scoff at drunk o'clock in the morning, yeugh!
I've taken to baking, Christmas cakes, sausage rolls, and I'm going to have a go at making baguettes - I love those french ones. GARLIC BREAD!😄
