Erin Mckeown Didn't They
Ou know my secret,
Somebody told you didn't they?
I can tell by your voice.
And in the way
We are awkward,
Mama, what did they say
When they told you my secret
Anyway?
The old heave-ho holds the old
You don't know
What to do, what to say.
Didn't they?
You in your half-shirt and lies,
Me with the half-lit eyes.
What a pair,
Who would ever suspect?
And could I care for polite
When, mama, I'm as frightened
As a girl with a secret could be.
