A Grim Reality

Sally went to Henry's house 

but he was "sick in bed"

so walking back from Henry's house

she visited Joe instead

She knocked on the wooden door

and for a while it didn't answer 

Joe's not home his mum cried

then shut the door behind her

That was strange Joe was always home 

who could she call on now?

perhaps she'd round the corner  

and drop in on Abigail

So again she knocked 

Abigail appeared 

dressed as black as Sally could take

where are you off to Sally asked

Abigail started to tear up and wailed

I'm going to little Joe's wake.
