Didn't Work (Salt on Everything)

Poem

By K.A. SmithPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

Everything...
When you've tried everything
Like bottles in front,
Need to be clean.
How to stop someone from eating
So many fried things?
Pour salt?
Pour salt?
Pour salt?
Poured salt
... on them
Wrote salt
... on them
Arrested
... them.
Didn't "The Reverse,"
Didn't work.
