Amphion Poem-Potlatch Challenge

Lazy Slug Holiday (EVERYDAY!)

by michaelcahill


 
I honour slugs and their slick style
the slimey groove
with which they move
oh yeah, those eyes on sticks beguile
just lay around
it's not profound
who needs the burden of a shell
this lazy day
to lay, lay, lay,
around without a tale to tell
