A Slug's Life Poem by Ernestine Northover
A Slug's Life
I met a young slug, who gave me a shrug,
And said that his life, was so full of strife,
He'd wandered around, no 'she' slug had he found,
He so wanted to find, someone who was kind.
Setting off in haste, he had no time to waste,
And slithered into, a flowerbed venue.
He saw her right there, Oh my, did he care,
Such charm on display, his love he'd convey.
Into petals she crawled, and he was enthralled,
He followed in a dream, mesmerized it would seem,
As coy as could be, she asked him to tea,
And enjoyed toast and jam, and also some spam.
He then met her Dad, who liked her new lad,
And gave his consent, so they were content,
To wait for the day, when their vows they would say.
He was certainly not subfusc, but an excited mollusc.
The wedding was grand, just as they had planned,
His blushing new bride, smiled, all starry-eyed,
They would honeymoon too, at a posh rendezvous,
For he'd won him a wife, and escaped from his strife.
I hope the people see the emotion of the slug here...... I am so happy he found his wife and driven the strife.... I felt the positivity, if that is meant to be felt... wonderful poem, indeed!
Great poem, Ernestine, and I hope they live happily ever after, but not in MY garden please! ! Love, Fran xxx
Very cute, Ernestine, much cuter than a slug itself! YUCK! I've gotten their slime on my hand and had to use cleanser to get it off. Your writing is so delightful - the perfect stories for children. And adults as well! Marilyn
Ernestine, this poem attests to the old saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Your slug poem is very cute and the love story charming, but slugs per se? Sorry, but they do nothing for me. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
