Sarah ate a quarter. Not a quarter of an apple, or a quarter of a grape
Sarah ate a quarter of a dollar.
Sarah was always eating something or other (mostly other)
she wasn’t supposed to eat.
Sarah believed that your world is as big as you make it
And Sarah’s world was getting bigger all the time
Sarah’s world was filled with so many curious things
And she wanted to taste them all
Sarah had a big belly ache one day, a really big, bad belly ache
So bad, her mother took her directly to the hospital
Sarah would probably have loved this new adventure
But her belly hurt so much she could only cry
Sarah’s mom was angry and said some bad words to the hospital man
She wondered why, but her belly hurt too much to pry.
Sarah’s mom said, “Don’t worry, Sweet Sarah, we’ll find another hospital.”
Again, she wondered why, but she could only cry.
Sarah’s mom knew that if they only had insurance . . .
Someone would be helping Sarah now to feel better
And she began to cry.
Some people live in smaller worlds that don’t include everyone
Such a damn shame!
