Snail Ate The Whale Poem by Mark Walters

On the way to the circus,
We came by a whale,
Which caused a great fuss,
Since we travelled by rail.
For he sat between us,
And a very large snail,
As well.

When one saw the other,
They decided to fight.
That the snail ate his brother,
We had no insight,
of his preference for whale,
Whom he began to assail,
Till nothing was left,
But his tail!
