Slimy but not a crook

Slow darting ‘feelers’
leaving silvery  trails and
yummy with frog  legs

Outer shells extend
protection but just for birds
known to gobble whole

Slimy but not a 
crook while soft and fleshy but
neither is sexy

  1. Very well described but I wouldn't eat with frogs legs, come to that I wouldn't eat frogs leg either.
    Written well Hank.

  2. I forget how good they taste when I see them crawling about. I like your 360 degree collection Hank :)

  3. Frog legs are all right, but I'll pass on the snails...

  4. I think I'll leave the snails to the birds and never try them

  5. Charming ode to the much maligned snail ... and oh, so tasty with garlic and butter.
