Janie

A Poem by authorised1960
"

A young girl's party...

"

Debbie has a hare-lip

Brian has MS

Polly has spin-bifida

Janie has a new dress

 

Gordon’s in a kids home

Becky endures abuse

Andrew has Downs Syndrome

Janie has new shoes

 

Adrian’s dad is on the dole

Joanne’s mum is on the booze

Martin’s dad is hooked on drugs

Janie hasn’t got time to lose

 

Lisa is autistic

Steven’s hair is full of lice

Wendy can’t keep up at school

Janie feels pretty and nice.

 

Bobby has been locked out again

Nine year old Amy has her own key

Simon’s lonely, cold and hungry

Janie has a lovely party

 

Lucy wants a cuddle

Jimmy needs a kiss

Helen longs just to be loved

Janie has all of this

 

Nikki suffers heartache

Patrick suffers ill health

Jennifer suffers cruelty and neglect

Janie suffers indulgence and wealth
