Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Be Back

A man sits and watches T.V.
Then there is a knock at his door.
The man wonders who that could be.
Outside sitting on the porch floor
Is a snail. It's all alone.
The man swears and picks up the snail.
Into the street, the snail is thrown.
Ten years go by to no avail.
The man is watching T.V. still.
When a knock on the door he hears,
He does the get up-answer drill,
And can't believe his eyes and ears.

That same snail sits there and does shout,
"What the heck was that all about?"
