I’m Sad For Sally

I told Sally no
I didn’t want to go
But Sally persisted
For five mins I resisted
Then on the dancefloor
I met my Perfect Partner
While she sat alone
Full of gloom
Like an overripe gooseberry
Or a fae-plucked cherry

    😅 I love that image of an overripe gooseberry -and it’s got a great ring to it too!

    Well… she did insist and the results were not what she hoped for, sadly.
