Oh, I got a giggle out of this little bit of wise whimsy.
Love how you slipped in the little morality lesson:You'd be too,
house-carrying. --
Your questions
make me weary.
Think twice before you query."
Yup, it is always good to think before you speak. I have too often lost that battle. LOL

So very clever your poem is. I love how you use the house carrying question as answer to the snail slow track.
Very clever Brooke!

Hi Brooke,
Nice bit of fun in your Whitney Poem. I learned recently that the snail (and the slug) are able to move at all because they have the most amazing musculature in that 'foot' the slide along.

Yes, I hadn't thought of it from that perspective, Brooke. Another delightful poem, so well structured and such cute implications. All within the structures of the Whitney poem. Thanks for sharing Brooke, and warmest regards, Marijke xxx :o)

I've been gifted with three of your poems in a row this time. Your Whitney poem sparkles, as does the picture you chose. Excellent.
