Description
The Snail of Potency – By David Michael Wright

As I walked by the sea, with it's ever-present breeze, I laughed at the mollusc before me.
It stared with its bleary little eyes (if eyes they be) on their stalks, indeed, yes, it was looking at me!
With adoration and pride it slithered forth upon my shoe leaving ample deposits of gelatinous goo. It took a modest bow (Don't ask me how) and removed the shell from it's back. " I give my home to thee sir! You know me not, but I know you will remember me; I am but an insignificant mollusc, a snail. But pray take my home, my shelter, as a trinket. I am The Snail - Horatio is my name, I am The Snail you will never forget!" And with those tiny words of great potency and passion the snail did slither, naked, into a nearby packet of salt and vinegar crisps and was never to be seen again.
