—attributed to P. T. Barnum, American showman
Believe it or not,
I read somewhere that
Some land snails can
Lift ten times their weight
Up a vertical surface;
So if you were as strong as that
And sucked just as well
And weighed in
At one hundred-fifty pounds,
Hauling one thousand five hundred
Pounds of suckers would more than likely
Drive you straight up a wall.
