Spaghetti Hair Sally

This is a special request and a special dedication to all my little babies out there that I love so much. I have stashed away a collection of children's stories that I wrote long ago for my babies. Recently, I came across a binder stacked with stories. Here is one I thought I would share. They are silly, made up stories used to grab the attention of three wacky kids. With much love,

Spaghetti Hair Sally

Spaghetti hair Sally,
does not like to wash,
"No soap! No water!, she'll loudly shout.
And, rushes quick as a flash right out.

Her long spaghetti hair,
just wiggles all around.
The most peculiar things I've ever seen
sometimes just pop out!

Little green toads hopping all about,
tadpoles, orange slices,
and once even a giant purple ant came crawling out.

"Yuk!", the other children shout as they squirm,
at the horrible scene.
"Oh, don't be silly, it's just a worm!" she smiles,
and giggles shoving it in her jeans.

Spaghetti hair Sally,
has never used shampoo
and so her tangled hair just grows and grows,
with grasshoppers, potato skins,
and even a kangaroo!

"Oh my!" the people yell at her,
as they see Sally passing by
with her long spaghetti hair.
But, she doesn't stop to look their way,
off she goes with all her flair.

Spaghetti Hair Sally,
is happy as can be and lives without a single care,
it's just her and her long spaghetti hair,
and all the creatures and things that live within.
