Basil and the snail

A bit of fun in the form of a poem for children. The words for Three Word Wednesday this week: evident, illusion, tragic. 


Basil and the snail 


A sunny illusion - all seemed well 
At first it wasn't evident 
How it met its tragic end 
Just where the basil went 


A little bit of a search around 
My eyes followed back a silver trail 
Under a leaf the culprit found 
Poor baby basil - eaten by a snail

    It's hard to love snails, but at least they have good taste!

    Oh well! If the snail didn't eat it, it would probably have ended up in a stew.
