Protein Surprise

A salad roll sits upon my plate, 
All garden fresh and there to be ate;
I didn’t taste a bug
But saw half a slug...
My observation has come too late.

Yeah well Kim... I see a slug as a snail without its home on its back, and guess who eats snails... you don't have to guess who ate half a slug - catch you Kim - Lindsay

Yes, at least you didn't taste it. So, perhaps a bird ate the other half. Slugs have a rather acrid flavor.

Hello Duke... I don't care about the flavour too much Duke. It's really the thought I suppose - regards - Lindsay

G'day Andrea... a slug is not too bad Andrea. Statistics tell us that us that we eat four spiders each while we are asleep... now that's creepy - Lindsay
