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.

    Oh dear. Perhaps sulky sally should've wiped her nose a touch more often...but hey, at least she's sunny now!

    hahaha oh this was good
    Although snail in brain might make it as dumb as wood
    Oh that be a nasty sight
    Glad I never reached such a height

    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?

    Hilarious! Well she seemed to be slow minded before, maybe the snail sped her up a bit!

    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!

    I trid to leave a comment, but the snail monster ate it or something. Let's try again. Very smarky (A new word created from the typo dictionary). I liked it. Enjoyed the smile it brought and encouragment to keep things out of my nose that my overtake my mind. xcellent once again.
