Sally works the street
with Felix,
in a most unusual way.  

She’s rather turned
the normal street trade
upside down.  

They’re both
good looking kids,
Sally’s the smarter
of the two,
and of course,
she looks a little older.  

It doesn’t really matter though,
as either way you cut it,
life for them both,
remains a total horror.

I'm glad Felix and Sally at least had each other.

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, they certainly do have each other.  They keep each other alive.

It has been said that before order there is chaos, and I sometimes think that chaos is more intriguing than order---that which keeps luring us to the fire. I don't think Felix and Sally are afraid of the fire.

Thanks Art,

It's true, chaos may be more interesting, however, it's not always that much fun to be in it.

There's not much that Sally and Felix are afraid of.

   I admire Sally and Felix for taking the game's own rules and twisting them so at least the two have a chance--and each other. Living the life they lead surely must be a horror, but they always seem to find a way to make a life together.

Thanks dear Sharyn,

Thanks so much for saying that.  You'll never know how much that means to Sally, Felix, and I.

Love Bobby

I guess you could say that Sally and Felix were 'partners in crime' and were 'thicker than thieves'. ~ Sorry, Bobby, I couldn't help myself. I guess my 'halo' slipped! lol

Another poignant penning.

What a way to find solace in an otherwise bad situation....in a jacked up screwed up sort of way. I like this one though.
