Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Slugfestive

On Australia's Mount Kaputar,
A new slug species has been found,
Exciting sluggers near and far,
To venture to that lush wet ground.
The slugs favor life in a bed
Of tasty eucalyptus leaves.
But up a tree a slug will head
Leaving a slimy trail that weaves.
Pairs of feelers for smell and sight.
Hermaphroditic mollusc be,
Seeking out mister and miss right
To find a mate for he and she.

A slug that is a bright hot pink -
Not nature's a nod and a wink!
