and the friend of the friend of the
attempted murderer
said the news
                                  and the little boys cried
                                  to see such lies
and i put on my Mothering
cap and stepped outisde
                                  so they hugged and patted shoulders
                                  and the dish ran away with the spoon

                  I have a baby brother,
                  he is my pride and joy,
                  and though I'm not my baby's mother,
                  I treat him as my boy.

and the friend of the friend of the
tiny doll
said the soothingly distant voice
                                  and the men they sighed
                                  as children died
and off come my gloves
i have nothing to hide
                                  so they stared and stood tall
                                  and the dish ran away with the spoon

Back.
