To be honest, Petey would look very much at home in a turtle shell.

He could be a pistachio and look alright without his shell.

Ever seen a hermit crab out of his shell? Not awful, but not very attractive either.

Hmm… Petey as a hermit crab?

He may look like a lollypop, but you look like a paint brush.

Hand ball. Yellow card.

Then he’d look like Mitch McConnell

Her left kick goes boomp but the right kick sounds different, it goes poomb.

I miss Dill!

Peter, Peter,

Famous as a picky eater,

Escaped from his imaginary shell

And suddenly his life was swell.

Awww poor Petey. Everyone’s always picking on him.

I used to wonder if snails could move faster if we took them out of their shells, but then it occurred to me that would only make them more sluggish.

Honestly kids, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. That is one horse who won’t be changing his stripes.

An oddly shaped lollypop.

He already moves at a snails pace… Go for it slugger!

Harsh, Beni.
