Certainly Strange Sally

Certainly Strange Sally

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

An odd duck, for sure.

"
Certainly Strange Sally

Sally is certainly strange,
and not especially bright
She insists she only daydreams
in the middle of the night

She wears her wristwatch backwards
so she can look back in time
She submits blank papers in writing class 
titled "Dialogue of a Mime"

She named her goldfish Fluffy
She sings to her spare change
She eats spearmint gum on crackers
Yes, Sally is certainly strange.

A blank page of mime... Now that's very clever of her !

I think you should rename her ' Sensible Sally ' ?

Thank you, Tom - for appreciating Sally and her unique talents! :)
This is gorgeous. I love it. It bounces along with a friendly rhythm and rhymes gracefully. Very good.

Oh, I have taught my share of Sally's... Very sweet, but odd, children! Thank you, Angi!
could have gone on and on this.......Reminds me of one I did..a Limerick about the backwards young man from Prestatyn...had a shoe box for keeping his hat in....At the end of each day, packs breakfast away..then goes bed after letting the Cat in

Well done. Put a smile on my face. Wonderful alliteration in first line to set the tone. Sally is a keeper.

:) Thanks, Pete - I kind of like where Sally is coming from!
I KNOW HER !!! Loved the 'Dialogue of a mime' - ace !! I bet that paper was as long as the one on the 'Inside of a table tennis ball'.
Great fun Rita.
