Poem: Don’t Talk To Strangers.(extract from Bone Soup)
.
don’t talk to strangers
.
please take a sweetie little girl
would you like to see a kitten
do you know the way to maudlin street
would you let me tie your mitten
.
come here young man
i’m slightly deaf
come closer to the car
don’t be afraid
i know your mum
get in it is not far
.
it’s sensible to be on guard
with everyone you meet
it is not rude to run away
from people in the street
.
though people seem quite human
from the outside looking in
you cannot see the monsters lurking
underneath the skin
.
