she gave her baby sister
a bag of condoms
then took her by the river
to make rent before Lent

rats, tramps and pimps traded leads
on the ****** exchange
to fat cats with cheese
on the BIG BOATS

they came to the island once a year
in February
with blond bushy beards, ******
and beer bellies,
and a perverse preference for
pubescent pleasure

armed with Lust, Sweat and Disease
they threw the bag
over her pleas
into the raging sea

and between the rip of thongs
and licking tongues
and knees stretched from east to west,
her screams and dreams fizzled
south,
stifled on the ****** exchange

and the shame and stains remain
like a sordid refrain...

and the shame and stains remain
like a sordid refrain....

and she will forever be named:

the ***** by the river...
