There was a lady who wore a green beanie
She knew how to break my heart

And so I offered her water

But I dared not look in her eyes
For fear of seeing her broken smile

Even so she thanked me

And I closed the door feeling lighter
Happy I kept face

Once I made it home though
I began to cry

In the dark
Where secretes are easily kept

For old ladies
And striped orange summer dresses

Who still continued to wear green beanies.
