SALAMANDER, MY PET ROCK
I was looking for rocks in my back alley one day
And there she was.
Salamander.
Sally for short.
We did everything together.
We laughed-- or rather, I laughed
I took her all over
To school,
To Hale Bakery,
To Rainbow.
Till one day,
She vanished.
Maybe I grew up,
Maybe my mom threw her out,
But I will always remember one thing;
Salamander was a rock.
