Poem
Sally Sue Has A Bad Day Little Sally Sue awoke one day feeling quite blue. Her mom asked "Why, whats wrong with you?" Sally replied, "If i only knew." She looked in her closet and hated her clothes. She looked in the mirror and hated her nose. She looked all around hating everything she had. She glanced out the window, even the neighborhood's bad. She slumped down the stairs to get ready for school. And scoffed at her breakfast (A bowl full of gruel) In walked her dad asking "Why you look sad? My dear do you need to talk?" I could drive you to school in a minuet or two." "No thanks dad i'd rather walk. So she headed down the block tripping over a rock, her books flying everywhere. She said in a huff as she picked up her stuff. "This day's becoming a nightmare!" When she got to school things did not get better (Caught her arm on a nail and ruined her sweater) Sally screamed in frustration as she examined her sleeve. "That's it! Now i'm really peeved!" "I'm sick of my life and i'm sick of theis day! I wish the whole world would just go away!" There was a hush in the hallway, the whole room sighed. Sally lost control and she started to cry. A teacher came up and took Sally aside. She sat Sally down and said, "There now, don't cry." "What is the trouble dear? Why all the strife? Why do you scream that you hate your life?" Sally wiped her face trying to erase, how stupid she felt for crying. She put on a frown and stared at the ground, "Nothing" she said obviously lying. "I believe you" teacher said "Though your words aren't quite true." "Something is wrong-though it seems "nothing" to you." "Though your problems seem small, they can add up quite fast" "And become overwhelming, seeming forever to last." "Just do your best to take each problem one by one. Understanding as you do, life's not always that fun." "There will be bad days and responsibility too." "It's that way for everyone, not only you Sue." Now what would you do if you were Sally Sue? Would you run and hide knowing life can be hard? Because Sally did not, Sally was much too smart. She went on with her day with her head held high, remembering not to give up and always to try. And her day DID get better as she took things one at a time. And when they did not work out, Sally Sue didn't mine.
