I'm A Slug

Barry Louis Polisar

I love broccoli, I love Swiss chard
I love all the flowers in the yard
I love butternut squash, cucumbers too
Cantaloupe and honeydew

'Cause I'm a slug
I'm a slug
I'm a slug

Pick me up, no need to squirm
I won't wiggle around like an itty bitty worm
I don't got no fur, don't got no tail
No gills, no scales, and I ain't no snail

I like to climb up and down your vine
And leave a little trail; just a slimy line
My tiny antennae flippin' side to side
Which way should I go? I can't decide.

I'm a little bit slipp'ry but only a little
Round like a snake but fatter in the middle
Step on me; no need to scream
I'm much more lovable than I seem
