Let's play!


Party games

Scottie wanted me,
to tell you of his
grand plan

To teach the other
slugs a thing or two
and how to say thank you

Scottie wants to play
skittles with his guests
first they must deshell

and line them up
like bowling pins
to aim with cherry tomatoes

Then he thought,
they could bob for peas
floating in a lettuce leaf.

followed by a game of golf
shoot with peas
 with garden stakes into tiny holes

to gather at the nineteenth hole
for his orange beer
to sing some songs of cheer.

To party well into the night,
lit by the silver moon,
daring one all to take on,

the big dipper
made of lettuce leaves,
or take a swim in Snowy’s bowl.

I don’t know about you,
But Scotties party sounds like fun,
I wish I was a slug!  

Arrh! But wait there’s
just one more thing they,
must write slug notes of thanks.
