In days of old, when heroes bold did stride the land
Two men of might, their legacies grand
Marcus Licinius Crassus and Napoleon Bonaparte
Held a feast, a banquet of the finest art

Their tables groaned with delicacies, a sight to see
Snails in all their glory, a true gastronomic spree
Their shells were polished, their flesh succulent and fine
A true delight for the discerning palate divine

Crassus, a man of wealth and power, a true patrician
Napoleon, a man of vision, a true revolutionary
Two men, two worlds, yet one in spirit they were
United in their love for the humble snail, oh so fair

Their conversation flowed like wine, a true symphony
Of ideas and dreams, of conquest and glory
Their laughter echoed through the halls, a true jubilee
As they savored each delicious morsel, oh so free

The snails, they were the stars of the show, no doubt
Their shells, a canvas for the imagination, without
A delicate balance of flavors, a true gastronomic delight
A feast fit for the gods, a true culinary sight

And so they dined, these two men of renown
Their bond of friendship, a true crown
For in the simple pleasures of life, they found
A true and lasting joy, a bond that would never be bound
