Sally’s Secret

 

Sally McPhee’s a collector of keys

She keeps them concealed in a drawer.

Some she has found just lying around

But several she stole from next door.

 

She has keys that lock windows

And keys for the shed.

She’s got keys for some diaries

She hasn’t yet read.

 

She has keys for a money box

Owned by her brother

And keys for the Volvo

Misplaced by her mother.

 

She has keys for a tool box

Her father’s great treasure.

To see him in search mode

Gives Sally such pleasure.

 

She has keys that are ancient

And keys that are new

Well, people are careless

That’s Miss Sally’s view.

 

Sally McPhee’s a collector of keys

She keeps them concealed in a drawer.

Her intention is clear

That year after year

She’s  going to collect hundreds more.
