Walking the trails in Wul’aam wood
we happened upon a slug
now there’s a dude misunderstood
more than any kinda bug.
He glides along his trail of goo,
hugs the forest floor,
looks like a lump of doggie doo,
not easily adored.
People hate em, they bait em,
they poison em in traps,
but the slug’s not doing any wrong
deserves those harsh attacks.
Although he’’s not really nice to hug,
he’d stick to your loving face,
it’s wrong to think the lowly slug
don’t deserve an honoured place.
So when you’re walking the forest trails
and Gastropod slimes your way,
mind your step, avoid the snail
and don’t be so afraid.
People hate em, they bait em,
they poison em in traps,
but the slug’s not doing any wrong
deserves those harsh attacks.
