Little Diogenes bearing your tub, wither away so gay,
With your eyes on stalks, and a foot that walks, tell me this I pray!
Is it an honest snail you seek that makes you go so slow,
And over the edges of all things peek? Have you found him, I want to know,
Or do you go slow because you know, your house is near and tight?
And there is no hurry and surely no worry lest you stay out late at night.
Activity 6: Color and Label a Snail
