a rather unusual absence of slugs
while searching for any hidden fruit
(ignoring the possible presence of bugs)
by feeling 'blind' among the leaves.
But then my hand feels something soft
and moist, surely over-ripe but retrieves
the berry by squeezing . . . I'm shocked !
It moves ! Above the leaves a head appears.
I recognise it and now it's clear -
if you want to keep your strawberries slug free,
encourage your patch to be well-frogly.
