Among the garden, we await my grandma's company.

Thump. What did the weeds catch?

Stealing drops of sunshine, is an unsavory stranger-

a heaving black slug with tadpole components.

Evicted, it must be- how impolite!

Larry seizes the contorting creature,

suspending it above his throat,

before swallowing it whole.

A pulverizing sight!

"No! Spit it out!"

But Grandma is there, and she beams:

"That's one way to get rid of it."
