Cuban Painted Snails

The Cuban painted snails do be

Marvels of nature in fine art.

Grape size shells show colorfully

Awesome patterns in ev'ry part,

With yellows and pinks in pastel,

Brick reds, pitch blacks and pearly whites,

All works of art that do excel,

Making such captivating sights.

Each whorled shell shape swirls in upon

Itself - a colorful staircase,

Spiraling inward on and on

In an endless hypnotic grace.

The Cuban painted snail moves slow,

Providing viewers a great show.
