Slug Talk: Observations on Life, from the Viewpoint of a Slug

Observation #1

A funny thing happened to me the other day...

I saw this sleek snail in the green grass one day,

A flyboy, he was, I do have to say,

For he whisked himself past as fast could be,

In a shell of many colours, a flyboy was he.

I had hardly perceived that he had even arrived,

Before he disappeared into the sunset – I tell you no lie!

That snail of many colours, as bold as could be,

Was a flyboy for sure, so flashy was he!

He made me so sad, as sad as could be,

For I am a slug, not flashy, that’s me,

No shell to impress with colours and bling,

Just a poor, boring slug and it’s a terrible thing.

But I do have this plan, a means to an end,

That could make so cool, like snails and their friends,

All that I need are paint and a brush,

A golf ball and glue – not really so much!

 With these said items, I will make myself grand,

Painting the ball, gluing it on my back is my plan,

Then I’ll parade myself round as proud as can be,

Like a snail of many colours and just as flashy, hee hee.
