SCENE OF THE SLIME

 

Now yesterday I planted out

My annuals in a bed laid out

I went to take a look today

But find my annuals gone away

What evil in my garden walks?

All I see are marigold stalks

Now I see the trails of slime

I know who did this awful crime

Not creepy crawlies or even bugs

But evil little snails and slugs

You cannot poison them they say

That isn’t nice there’s another way

Grit or eggshell on the trail

Or little cups of beer or ale

But I’m not one to treat them nice

They will pay the ultimate price
