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

A tidy monorhyme if there ever was one, slug and all. Congratulations on a most interesting entry and award winner.

Heya Greg, thank you for looking in, I guess this certain slug paid the ultimate price, for standing up his date, if indeed he was going to show up at all, cheers David

Heya Sam, I was trying to imagine what goes through a girl’s mind, left in the lurch by some slimy sneak, hell hath no fury, cheers David

Thank you ilene, personally I’m not a fan of Escargot, but this guy had to go, for leaving his date, standing around all day, got his just deserts, cheers David
