WHATSIT-CALLED 1956A Poem by Terry CollettA GIRL TELLS A BOY ABOUT ABOUT A MAN WHO EXPOSED HIMSELF TO HER IN A PARK IN LONDON IN 1956Janice was by the pram sheds when I came along she was flushed and upset what is up? I asked her I've just seen a man in Jail park who showed me his whatsit-called as I walked along by the flower bed and I didn't know what to do Janice said is he still there? I asked I don't know she replied let's go see I told her I'm not sure I want to go back there she replied I'm with you otherwise you'll never go back there I replied she was pale and frightened don't worry I've seen his type before he'll soon run when I come and tell him I'll cut off his darn dick Janice blushed Benny that's swearing what would Gran say if she heard those words Janice said I won't tell your grandma if you don't I tell her now let's go so she comes with me though the Square and across Bath Terrace and into the Park but the man wasn't there but he was inside the head of poor Janice and often dreamed of him in nightmares she used to have afterwards she told me. © 2015 Terry Collett |
