Comic verse
The Double Demise of Keeley McSnot
A cautionary tale of greed, snails and reincarnation
Keeley McSnot is a wee tiresome grot,
She moans and she wails, and she likes eating snails.
Crunchy and brown, she washes them down,
With a drink from a bottle, she found on the ground.
The snails are so juicy, and crunchy and munchy,
Just what a gross girly enjoys for her lunchy.
Lips smacking loudly, she searches for more,
Scrabbling and scratching she crawls on the floor.
Face-down in the dirt, she slurps and she dribbles,
A fat snail is trapped, in terror, it wriggles.
She grabs it with greed, the poor snail is squashed,
All gooey and slimy, his small life is lost.
Unknown to cruel Keeley, the snail gods are plotting.
When she dies of old age, her moist body rotting,
Snails travel for miles to converge on her grave,
“We will eat you all up”, they scream in their rage.
“Our anger is righteous, our magic is strong,
You will come back and suffer…
