Where do all the snails go?

When I walk around at night,

Once my eyes adapt to less light,

I see some thin and shiny trails,

If I follow, I find some snails.

In the morning, when the sky is bright,

There’s not a snail to be seen in sight,

As if they all just flew away,

Snails are hard to find in the day.

I look around where I’d seen them last,

They can’t have gone far, snails aren’t very fast.

I see some ants, some birds and a mouse,

But where is that slimy snail’s house?

Maybe you can help? Do you know?

Where do all the snails go?

Hi, I'm W. A. Greenly. Environmental science geek, Earth lover, and opinionated writer. Well, at least now I am. Just recently I completed my Bachelor's degree in Biodiversity & Conservation at Flinders University, South Australia. However, not too long ago (pre-2018) I was employed as a qualified Mechanic/Service Advisor and I spent most of my time in a dirty old workshop waiting for the next rattly old car to be towed in as I hoped to make my next big sale $$. I had all the normal debt a 28-year-old was supposed to have, a mortgage, a car loan, and all the normal bills. Yep, I was well on my way to success. Or... so I thought. Truthfully, I was trapped working a job I didn't enjoy, and would you believe I honestly thought that I was on my way to achieving endless happiness. Well that happiness, it never came. I'd tell myself it was always just around the corner. Oh, how wrong I was. Thankfully I now realise what I was missing, the joy that comes with having fewer desires and enjoying what so many forget is all around us and free. The natural world. Join me, follow and like my Facebook page, subscribe to my blog, and share with me all that is natural, magical and mesmerising. Share knowledge, help nut out worldly issues, or just read, watch, and learn all you can about our Earth. That is where I believe true happiness lies after all. Well, for some of us anyway. Thank you and enjoy, W. A. Greenly.
