Slimy, squishy,
stealthy
Lethargic, lumpy,
loathsome
Onerous, ooey-gooey,
orbiculate
Wet, wander-ful,
woodsy
They show up
out of nowhere,
Leave nasty
trails behind.
They feast
upon your garden,
As if you
wouldn’t mind.
They show up
after rainstorms
Like guests
at a resort.
A slug makes
no excuses
For being a
sloshy sort.
A slug will
not put up a fight
Nor spend
its time defending.
A slug is
just a slug, you see;
It spends no
time pretending.
It flexes,
flows, and frumps along,
Not caring
how it looks.
A lot can be
learned from a slug
That can’t
be learned in books.
