Sally and Felix Saturday Night

Every Saturday night,
Sally and Felix foster family
treat them selves to a movie
and dinner downtown.

Of course, they leave
Sally and Felix at home.

The two foster kids
sneak out of the house.

They have their own ideas
for having fun.

They go out to the traffic light
at Third and Popular.

Sally stands on the driver’s side
of the street,
and Felix on the other.

“Yo, Felix,
here comes one of them rich
mudders now.

Wait until
the light turns red.”

When the light turns red—

“Click”
“Screech”

Felix jumps out,
and lays himself across
the hood of the car.

“Thump”

He makes ugly faces,
sticks his tongue
out at the driver,
and licks the windshield.

Nah-nah-nah-nah-naaaah
Tweet
Lick-lick-lick.

“Hey,
you stinking little
punk—
get off my stinking car.

Go lie in the gutter
where you belong.”

Sally raps on the window,
hollers in—

“Yo mister—
gimme a dollar
and I might be able to
talk him off
your hood.”

It always works.
Sally and Felix
are saving their dollars
for when they make
their big escape.

Startime55,

Thanks for reading, and for the kind words. Sally and Felix are going to make out just fine. They're a tough pair of cookies.
