Slug Poem

Upon my walk I saw two slugs
that reminded me of me and my true love.
The lady slug bumped into the guy slug several times
though he seemed agitated by it
as she curled behind and he
slimed away
I was expecting it to end there and then,
surely he had given her the boot,
but no, he hadn't,
now he curled as she followed,
and he now bumped into her
and she now slimed
the other way.
I each pet them in their soft skin
for the lady slug reminded me of my truest heart's desire
the girl who bumped me and who didn't get bumped back
until it was too late
