The Short-Lived Adventures of Salt Girl
So I hear that it's Poem On Your Blog Day (via A Burst of Light). Here's my poem. (My as in mine, I wrote it. So don't take it and post it as your own. Write your own damn poem.)
There was a small girl
Who was made out of salt
Her parents were blameless
It wasn't their fault.
The nurse was dismissed
She incurred Mother's wrath
Nurse forgot salt girl's problem
And ran her a bath.
Her parents insisted
On swimming and tennis
The first a disaster
The second a menace
When Father went hunting
The girl came in handy
The elk and the deer
Licked her body like candy
But the end of the rope
Came when salt girl was five
Her brother convinced her
To melt snow on the drive
She moved out of London
Because of the rain
Three salty toes cracked
On the vibrating train
She arrived at the seaside
Smelled salt on the breeze
She was drawn to the ocean
Where she felt she should be.
The last we saw salt girl
She was halfway dissolved
Her parents stood smiling
Their problems were solved.
