Slimy cavalcade
Of would-be gastropodal rank,
Both man and lady
(And maybe other brackets, too.
I don’t know;
I’m new here.
Give me a break.)
Do in dog days scrum
Long since the savage roar
Of Common Era ’83.
Crowned this Friday
In Eugene’s park-ish, blocky heart
After matching wits,
Talent and allure,
(And also bribes)
The new SLUG queen will its place take
On history’s porcelain throne
Among the storied many:
Queens Slimelda, Slugaretta, Bagonda
And Bruce,
To name a few.
There can be only one.
Long may she rain!
The SLUG Queen Competition and Coro-
nation begins at 6pm Friday, Aug. 14, at
the Park Blocks, 8th & Oak. in downtown
