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.
