Sulky Sally
















Sulky sally spied slimy snail
boogers excreted out of tail
she schemed, "save for snack, I suppose."
propelled that snail right up her nose

when mollusk crawled it caused her pain
at least until it ate her brain
sunny sally always now kind
since slimy snail became her mind.

  8. hahaha oh this was good
    Although snail in brain might make it as dumb as wood

    Glad I never reached such a height

  9. I'm one part grossed out and two parts delighted--your intent, I'm thinking. Wouldn't a nice clean lobotomy work just as well for young Sal, without all the icky slimy stuff?

  13. What a way to start the day! (insert big smile here) So, you really must tell us, when are you launching the book!? You have such a way with your writing, and this screams a Matt original! May I request you reserve a copy, with autograph, for me? :) Loved it...but this seems to be becoming the norm round these parts!
