Scottie’s Shade
Scottie was sizzling in the summer sun
Dripping with slimy slug sweat
When an idea slowly slid into his head
Scottie scaled the slide of a lettuce leaf
Skilfully placing his snout as not to shroud the leaf
And sailed half way down and then
Leaped to safety creating himself a sun-shade
Once he had shaken the soil off
That sprayed all over him as he spatted on the ground
Scottie slowly scrabbled back on to his sun-shade
And went to work scribbling a silver slim sign
Sunnies, slip, slop, slap and shade! Thanks!
Finished he took a slippery slide back into the soft soil
Using a slice of rotten squash for a sun bed
Taking a slug nap under his sun-shade
In the scorching afternoon sun
