Today is Milton Snavely Hershey's birthday, the man who brought us the chocolate bar. Who the hell names their kid SNAVELY?Well apparently, now that we have the internet we can answer that question, not very many. But there is a popular limerick about Snavely the snail. Which goes like this:
Some unseemly snorkelers from Wales,
Were arrested and sent off to jails,
For acts most immoral
Among the reefs coral,
Such as writing graffiti on snails.
And then there is a site which morphs the limerick to different verse forms, (a la Queaneau) here:
