So fearful of Soap Sally!
Dad says she comes in the night
to bump the daylights out of me.
Looking back, is plain to see
frightening things are ‘scary’
when told they be.

Your welcome. I never knew she was a ‘legitimate’ scary figure. Thought it was something Dad made up to scare us,lol. Take another look at my next poem on my site.
I have a “new” illustrator for my poems! Am so excited!

I’ve never heard of Soap Sally but she does indeed sound scary.

The REASON you have never heard of ‘Soap Sally’ is that you are too young and she is too old,
