Escargot In, (Rather On) Your Face! Poem by Joe Rosochacki

What secrets there are beneath that of the Golden Mean tunneled archway!
Hermaphrodites or not, science, concerning beauty, came in a most unusual way.
It seems that the snail secretions have a benefit to humans aging.
It seems as though snail secretions give a 'lift' to the human skin,
--chemical infusion that's raging.
First botulism, Botox, has render the facial muscles relax,
Now snails, who are related to mussels, secretions sell for a pretty penny without the tax.
How do humans count on a microbe and a snail to be the Fountain of Youth?
By vanity, the Picture of Dorian Grey and Juan Ponce De Leon, all wrapped in one;
-- to say the truth.
