that devil Billy Brate got nerve
took me to the green woods all excited
but t'was all for piping like Pan
just what he was giddy for
and i a reclined detainee to fawn
hollow reed whittled finger holes
he challenged natures birdsong
and came up shrill and dry
hollow reed
and i am boredom fed under duress
(how a girl
can mock up an impressed
gaze of awe)
it's all exhibit
a picture for his court mates to deride
he can swell his fellas with the media ;
he mistook another girl
down deep in Foxlease Thicket
