Written by Stuart Rushworth
Of children explaining
That they have no money, but by bedtime
When the hot sun goes down and the shadows
Return to their long weave
They will come running back in bare feet
Or at least tomorrow or the day after that
Or between schools
Marriages
If he should recognise them
He should mention it
Or they turn to me
Forgive me for growing up
And if I should happen to have fifty pence
And Mr Please does not mind
Which he doesn’t
Smiles.
