There once was a lovely girl named Sally
Who about her (sad) love life would dally
In other ways she was super smart
But had challenges in affairs of the heart
She only went out now and then
Her family thought her an old hen
Worked crazy hours — her friends said it was a ton
But wouldn’t stop ’til her 401(k) hit the big one!
Finally she met a fabulous guy named Mac
But on their first date had a heart attack.
Sadly, incredible Sally died
Her family stood by and cried
and warned her nieces not to end on that wrong track!
The dizzying disjunction between the jiggling rhyme and the tragic content made me giggle. Fun poem.
