Sally’s noted
in our grimy,
poverty stricken hood,
for hanging around
with truckers,
parking their rigs
out in front of
the settlement house.

Sally’s a big girl
for her age,
and very pretty,
some would even
go so far as to say,
she’s beautiful.

The guys appreciate
her companionship
very much,
and sometimes
give her money.

That’s the way it is
with our Sally.

It’s sad.

However,
there is nothing
that can be done for it.

We used to have a truck stop near here and I
had a friend who tried in vain to keep her daughter from hanging around there. I always wonder what happened to her since Lost touch with the mother. I know how sad this can be. Poor Sally.

Thanks Yann,

Yes it is a sad poem. All my characters have happy endings though.

Thanks dear Ida,

Don't worry, all my characters have happy endings. Sally's going to hook-up with Felix soon.

The good thing is that we know that Sally survived to become a strong, good woman. So the sad helped make her who she became - and that's life.

Liking this one, Bobby.

Alison,

It's always unusual what we get into in our younger days. Yes, Sally is doing very well now, she learned a lot growing up.
