The shell that bears not the weight of men
is but hardly a shell(: it serves not its purpose)
O, these poor little snail-slugs--
Crac-squish.
OAO
P.S. Before anyone asks this: No, I haven't smushed a snail today, but I saw one and was filled with revulsion at the thought of stepping on it by accident. Seen enough sluggy-shelly remains to know what I hope to miss.
