The Mitchell's Rainforest Snail

Under the strong, rough bark lives a snail
The Mitchell’s Rainforest Snail
Black and slimy with a spiral shell
It moves slowly slithering on the ground
Leaving a trail of slime
Shell looks like a beehive
No buzzing at all
I sit on a hard rock
Smell the fresh eucalyptus leaves
Tiny raindrops fall on my face
The little snail crawls onto my head
I am frozen but not scared
I sit until the storm passes
I feel hope
