My veggie patch is their domain,
As youngsters they soon learn
Weaving in and out the cabbage leaves
A good living they can earn.
The party starts at the touch of dusk
When each takes in a friend,
Their foods laid out and ready,
(It`s time for this charity to end) .
The night patrol soon arrives
Tiptoeing with careful feet,
To evict these slimy creatures
Before their meal`s complete.
I can`t disclose where they relocated
That secret they kept from me,
As they hitched a lift with my friend
Who a**ured me they roamed free.
No way can I say I loved them
I never gave each one a hug,
Even though they`re pesky
I really hate to k** a slug.
