Hello, darlings! This was a poem/song (?) I wrote a very, very long time ago, so if you would excuse my mad self for any cringe-worthy rhymes––but never let that stop you from enjoying the work.
Most madly,
The Mad Poet

Sadie
Where you going?
Don't you know
The leaves are blowing
Far far away
Don't go away
Sadie
Oh Sadie!
There are clouds out today
That doesn't mean you should go away
Just stay a little longer
I know you got places to be
I'm not the dodger
Problems don't exist here for you and me
Black pleats
Crisp white shoes
Where you going, Sadie?
Your family's gonna miss you
Sadie
The little lady
Your time ain't today
So many opportunities
Just sit down and pray
Don't pack your bags
There is still so much to do
Because if you go away
Your family's gonna miss you
I'm not ruining your life
It's just some things are worth waiting for
What if they dismiss you?
Don't think I could ever bear more
Sadie
The little lady
You got so much promise
But you're not yet grown up
So why don't you just shut up?
