This is a very cute poem about the snail and Jungle Jim's cup. You used very cute descriptive words and I love the art work you chose to go with this. I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. blessings, Teri

And the lesson to learn here is of course, be careful of the places you choose to hang out, you get into hot water and then get swallowed up and digested in fell swoop. Poor dumb slug, victim of a chug-a-lug.

Judge Jim must work very hard if he thinks it is safe to eat raw snails and sip from a cup with snail slime on it.

This is cute and childish and has good mono-rhyme quatrain.

Keep writing

I see you've made quite a hit with this. Excellent rhyme pattern. The rhythm is great too. Snails are not cute. I went to a French dinner recently and was afraid snails would be on the menu. So glad they weren't. Jungle Jim is a rough and ready sort, not doubt, so he wouldn't mind eating one. judi

JJ would eat his own liver (with onions, of course)

Strange--liver used to be such a staple, and now it's hard to find in the supermarket. The only liver I see is frozen. judi

I can only order it at some restaurants. My family looks at me like I'm Hannibal Lector.

Oh my, this is delightful :) I smiled at the beginning and wondered about this Jungle Jim guy. He actually swallowed the snail. The poor snail. You have quite a sense of humor and I chuckled along with you for this poem :)

I enjoyed your rhythmic meter and rhymes. I enjoy finding poets that use good meter and make good rhyme choices.

Sincerely Joy xx

An excellent photo of a mug with a snail balancing at the top. It was Uncle Jim's cup and he arrived that day. He took it off the edge and gave it a slight shrug. I think he drank the whole lot. Yukkie.

A great one here. What great wording as well as rhyme, though I expect there was a little slime-ok so my rhyme wasn't good like yours-haha. Poor old snail.

Do snails eat slugs? Didn't know that, but you are probably using a bit of poetic licence here, snails taking a cup of tea with their breakfast of slugs, whatever next, another fun write, love Dolly x

Jungle Jim would be the snail eater. The slug is what?s in the shell. Trust me on this, Dolly.
