Sally Salt and the Sadness of Existence


There is a Arab proverb

Which notes that

 

Sad 

Are only those 

Who understand 

 

Sally Salt wrote this in her diary

As she sat on the 42 bus

Travelling from Heaven to Hell

 

The bus was empty

Save for the driver

Which disturbed

Sally Salt

As she had purchased

A return ticket

This said she liked

The bright red buses

In more ways

Than she cared

To admit to herself
