Saucy Sally and Studly Sam

Saucy Sally, sits solemnly on said sidewalk, Stifling sniffles, sees sympathetic staring, Some snidely shuffling slowly sideways, so She surreptitiously swallows her sadness. Studly Sam, strolling six shaggy sheepdogs, Soon seizes on saucy Sally’s situation, and Saunters steadily, still standing; swiftly, Suggests she stifle her sniveling sadness. Suddenly, she’s sharing six shaggy sheepdogs, Silently, Sam says, sweet saucy Sally stay.

Thank you so much, Linda. I enjoyed writing it, but it was a bit challenging to keep all the words starting with S and having the whole poem make sense.

Be that as it may, Jenna, it was an appropriate comment. My straws were doing me no good at all. (still chuckling)
