On the beach
in the sun
Anne sits
in her chair
her one leg
hanging down
her leg stump
out of sight
she's beside
Skinny kid
who reclines
in a small
blue deckchair
other kids
sit around
fussed over
by three nuns
from the home
the tides out
so some kids
paddle out
ankle deep
listen kid
I hear one
of the nuns
had you in
to question
in secret
what'd they ask?
Anne asks
it's secret
Benny says
I know that
but tell me
I'm your friend
Anne says
Benny looks
around him
about you
they asked me
about you
Benny says
Anne frowns
about me?
Benny nods
what'd they ask?
what you did
what you said
and did you
make me do
anything
Benny says
what'd you say?
I said you
were my friend
my best friend
Benny says
what'd they say?
Sister Blaise
the fat nun
said it was
a big sin
to tell lies
what'd you say?
Anne asks
I told her
I guess so
was that all?
can I go?
Benny says
Anne smiles
good work Kid
keep the ****
penguins stumped
and things hid.
