#slugs - Hello Poetry

There was once a family of slugs That lived in a cabbage patch town They went out everynite to eat Found a cabbage and began to munch down All through the night they could reduce A cabbage to a stalk in the ground All night they would munch and munch But you would never hear then , nary a sound But Mrs. H was becoming fed up Her patch was the proudest around With malace , blood red , she schemed She vowed to eliminate all those clowns She purchased the best poison they had She tried every trick she had read But the slugs just kept on coming Every night, long after it was bed Then a local wino for he said Out of the garden he could take These inconsiderate gluttonous Stylommatophora Pulmonates So he began by opening a beer Placing some into a sphere Putting them by each cabbage head , he said "This will make those slugs disappear" But by morning the cabbage was gone Worse yet so was the beer and If you looked even more closely tiny signs saying , "Next time make it import you here !"

little slug lived his life thinking he was a snail until a man came along ripped off his shell and covered him in salt
