About this ebook
This book contains a mixture of stories, rhymes, jokes, poems and songs about Slugs, the lowly, slimy creatures that we all find so distasteful. Perhaps, though, after you have finished reading this book, you will see them in an entirely different light.

Oh, To Have Legs...
Oh to have legs like insects and things,
To walk on all fours is something I dream,
Or even just two, like HU-MAN THEINGS.
Would make me so happy, would realise my dreams
I dream of the day, I grow legs and see,
What it feels like to walk, not slime so lowly,
You see, I am a poor slug with no legs at all,
A garbled old thing, just slime and slow drawl.
Now don’t get me wrong it’s not all bad, I confess,
There are some perks living in a damp mess,
But I cannot help wonder about legs, I admit,
Oh lord give me legs, be it two, four or six.
A Funny Thing Happened
I saw this sleek snail in the green grass one day,
A flyboy, he was, I do have to say,
For he whisked himself past as fast could be,
In a shell of many colours, a flyboy was he.
*
I had hardly perceived that he had even arrived,
Before he disappeared into the sunset – I tell you no lie!
That snail of many colours, as bold as could be,
Was a flyboy for sure, so flashy was he!
*
He made me so sad, as sad as could be,
For I am a slug, not flashy, that’s me,
No shell to impress with colours and bling,
Just a poor, boring slug and it’s a terrible thing.
*
But I do have this plan, a means to an end,
That could make so cool, like snails and their friends,
All that I need are paint and a brush,
A golf ball and glue – not really so much!
*
With these said items, I will make myself grand,
Painting the ball, gluing it on my back is my plan,
Then I’ll parade myself round as proud as can be,
Like a snail of many colours and just as flashy, hee hee.
That’s Joe
There once was a slug called Joe
Who wished he were fast, not slow
Until one day, while alone
He saw a snail struggling, carrying its home
Now he slimes about happy, that’s Joe.
A Funny Old World
One two buckle my shoe
Three four knock at the door
Five six pickup sticks
Seven eight open the gate
Nine ten start all over again
Nah that would be silly,
I would much rather go looking for slugs to kill.
(It’s funny old world, isn’t it?)
A Snail
One day, while I was contentedly slipping and sliming my way down the garden path, I came face to face with a snail! ‘A snail?’ I can hear you asking, ‘What’s so strange about that?’ Read on, my friend; read on and find out...
It was no ordinary snail, not by a long chalk. The snail in front of me, barring my way along the garden path, was big, enormous, a veritable GIANT among slugs!
‘Yeh, yeh,’ I can now hear you saying, ‘Who does he think he is, snails could never be considered large by any stretch of the imagination.’ Normally I would have to agree with you, that snails, like slugs, are small, quite nondescript creatures, but this one really and truly was a GIANT! This snail, standing there, proud and erect, in his huge shell with yellow and brown markings, stripes, running along it, made me look like a dwarf, a midget in comparison.
Smiling, low and syrupy, he began speaking, he said, Hello there, my slimy friend, and what a grand day it is for anyone fortunate enough to still have his wife.
Thrown off my guard by such a peculiar introductory piece of gesticulated vocabulary, I struggled to find words sufficient for a reply.
Suffering from no such affliction, the huge snail began speaking again, he said, Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Myles; Smiles Myles is how my dear wife used to address me...that is, until yesterday...
With that, he began sobbing, slow, laborious, gelatinous and slimy blubbering.
Peeved, feeling for the hurt, the pain that this mountain of a snail was so obviously enduring, I said, What do you mean...until yesterday?
A smile; for a split second I thought I saw a smile on his slippery face, then sobbing even louder, he continued with his story, My poor wife in gone,
he howled, taken by the HU-MAN THEINGS, to be sold in their market, boiled in the pot and then eaten.
Why, that’s terrible!
I said, on hearing of this aberration from their accepted way of behaviour.How did it happen?
I asked, genuinely feeling an affinity for the snail giant before me.
Holding back his sobs, he said, They were there...in the park, early yesterday morning...
How did it happen?
I asked, totally drawn into his sorry story.
I had forgotten that it was Friday, market day,
he blubbered, but why should I have remembered,
he continued, for they had never hunted us, before!
Hunted?
Yes, hunted,
he said loudly, enforcing his point. Like, like ...animals!
But we are animals, albeit small ones, no insult indented, Myles, to your own great size,
I replied.
None taken,
he answered blankly
