David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Let Me Down Slowly

Turned his back, for he ain’t got no spine
  Invertebrate snail, leaving a trail of slime 
 Stood me up, promised we’d go for a climb
  I waited all day, and it’s already nighttime 
 Never trust slugs, let you down all the time 
Oops! just heard, he’s been held up on a tine
