SNAILS

TOM’S WIFE WAS HOSTING A DINNER PARTY

FOR SOME OF HER CLOSE FRIENDS,

AT THEIR SUMMER HOME.

MOMENT’S BEFORE THE GUESTS

WERE SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE,

SHE ASKED TOM IF HE WOULD BE

EVER SO GRACIOUS TO WALK A BLOCK

DOWN TO THE BEACH TO PICK UP SOME

FRESH SNAILS FOR THE PARTY.

ON HIS WAY TO THE BEACH

HE PASSED THE LOCAL BAR

AND FIGURED HE’D STOP IN FOR A

QUICK DRINK BEFORE HEADING DOWN

TO THE BEACH TO SEARCH FOR THE SNAILS.

ONE DRINK LEAD TO THE NEXT

AND BEFORE HE KNEW IT,

IT WAS 5:00 IN THE MORNING AND HE HADN’T

GOT HIS WIFE THOSE SNAILS.

QUICKLY HE HURRIED DOWN TO THE BEACH,

PICKED UP A FEW SNAILS,

RUSHED HOME AND STUMBLED UP

THE FRONT STEPS,

DROPPING THE SNAILS.

AT THAT MOMENT,

HIS WIFE ANGRILY OPENED THE DOOR

ASKING HIM WHERE HE HAD BEEN AND

HOW HE HAD RUINED HER PARTY.

TOM, LOOKED TOWARDS THE SNAILS AND SAID

“C’MON YOU SLOW POKES!

JUST A FEW MORE STEPS AND WE’RE THERE!”
