Who let the slugs out


An invite to Scottie’s Party

If the slugs, want to slug about
If the want to play some party games
And gossip while they work

Then I know the perfect host
I’ll introduce them to King Scottie
He will be in his glee

Permission to host a garden party
If anyone can teach them tricks
It's the innovated Scottie slug

Yes! Yes! Let the slugs out
If they’re into games and things
Scottie slug will sort them out

Now let me see — the drinks
Cupcake’s orange beer
Should bring about the cheer

Don’t forget finger food
Served on smelly socks
Celery and carrot sticks

To keep them tort and trim
Oh oh and lettuce leaves
Filled with baby peas

I can just see him now
In his finest suit —
Scottie’s orange beer party

So I gathered up
My finest lettuce leaves
And went to find Scottie

I gave him a list of party guests
With the supply of fresh leaves
To imprint with ooey-goery slim

Invites written in silver slim  
Lettuce leaves sat folded
as a neat stack of envelopes

So now all I have to do
Is put them in the mail
And pick up Scottie’s hat and tails
