have you ever held a slug
petted it lovingly
in the backyard
of your home
during your youth
and wiped the slime
on your jeans
only to then smear
remnants of it
on your bottom lip
finding out that the taste
of said slime
is disgusting
ah, childhood memories
*This is based on a true story. And yes, it happened to me.

Hehe! I like slugs! And snails. And I think it is an interesting sensation – but I’ve never tasted slug or snail slime and I’m not about to either!

It was not ever my intention to ingest slug slime. lol But I have eaten cooked snails; they are delicious if prepared properly.

Susi,
Your poem brilliantly captures the curious innocence of childhood, recounting a unique and vivid experience that many can relate to. The playful tone and relatable imagery make it a delightful and humorous read.

I don’t recall every picking up a slug and am not unhappy to have no memory of what you have described. Yucky.

I have to say, gladly, no. My experience with slugs didn’t occur until my twenties when they kept demolishing my garden in Vancouver. I put out containers of beer which they were attracted to and then they would drown.

Oh, but I like snakes! I lived with two roommates who had a 6-foot python named Aggie. She was awesome!
