Jill and Lucille

Jill and Lucille are two very hungry slugs They often dine out at their local garden food hubs. Lettuce, flowers, fruits, sunflowers and beans These are a few choices from these veggie canteens. Some clues are noticed from a gardeners view Slugs are not clever, they often leave one big clue. Slime trails are generally very clear to see When they travel for food that they eat greedily. Flowers without heads and partially eaten veg It all looks a mess when a gardeners work has been wrecked. But hedgehogs love slugs that are plump and juicy That's when Jill lost her friend, who's nick name was Lucy. Jill left the garden when her best friend became their snack Near to a hill, is where she met her new friend Jack. But as with all stories, they change over time Snails morphed into humans and birthed the Jack and Jill rhyme. But that is not the first or last of the Jill and Lucille tales Many more will be published about their life in the Dales. These girls will be as famous with modern songs for the young Feminine nursery rhyme rights will never be outdone.

My garden is too with slugs and snails at the moment. I trod on a snail the other night, then had to scrape it up...hearing the crunch (urgh!) was the worse for me but was even worse for the snail. Take care too Simon. Emilia : )

Those pesky slugs!! I have one somewhere in my kitchen! All i ever find is a silver trail, that leads to nowhere! A very clever and enjoyable read. This poem put a smile on my face.

Thank you so much Sean. They do seem to be good at hiding at times, until their tums start to rumble then they are out by the dozen lol. Makes me happy to know that it has put a smile on your face too. Emilia : )
