More From Slug!


A quick dip

On summer scorcher,
Scottie wanted a swim,
So he spied on Snowy,
seeing Snow was not in sight,

Scottie made a snake line,
for Snowy’s water bowl,
as he slid closer
Scottie sneaked a peak,

But the was no Snowy,
in sight, so he slivered on,
Pausing again to survey,
sightings of Snow.

All seemed safe,
so Scottie scrambled,
towards the water,
checking once more.

Scottie wanted to be sure,
before slipping into snow’s,
water bowl knowing,
once submerged was no escape.

With no cat in sight,
Scottie slipped into,
the soothing water,
but was too scared.

Scottie was scared,
Snow would sneak up,
while was submerged,
so didn’t enjoy the swim.

He squirmed his way out,
and slivered his way back,
to safety in the veggie patch,
thankfully still no Snowy in sight.

Scared Scottie scrambled
in such a rush,
he'd forgotten to leave,
a slime thank you note.
