Slugs Revenge


Silver Letters

This small
slimy snail
has slid over
MY LETTUCE!

Oooh! Arrr!
Look, it has left
a slimy
Silver trail!

Little dots
are those dashes
I can’t quite see
I think they’re tiny silver letters.

My gosh!
That slug
who got under your skin
Has left you a letter.

I wonder what
the slippery slimy thing
had to say
Dear

May be the slug
left you
a thank you note
he enjoyed your lettuce.
 
Errh! small
Slimy things
Should leave my
Lettuce leaves alone!

Don’t be like that
He left you
A silver lettered
Thank you note!


* My slug has created some interesting discussions among the MoP crew.  Silver letters indeed! Trust children's writers to find a story in a poem about a SLUG!
