 **Quick, Quick, Slow**  
  
My name is Slim and I have a problem:  
You would too if you felt like me.  
I don't expect you to understand it,  
But hear me out; that'll do for me.  
  
Look at me, I've a long thin body,  
I have no legs, for goodness' sake,  
So I suppose I should think it nat'ral  
That children think I'm a blasted snake.  
  
But pay attention for once and listen.  
Better yet, take a look up here:  
Yes, there, that's right, where my face curves onward,  
Though it ain't much cop, it is still an ear.  
  
Oh you may blink at a talking lizard--  
That I am, as you all should know;  
And I'll blink too: snakes can't do that either:  
They don't have eyelids like me and you.  
  
So please, please, please won't you understand me?  
I'm not a snake; I'm a smooth Slow-worm.  
Anguis fragilis -- and I won't go quietly:  
Unlike my scales, my views are firm.
