A Nursery Rhyme of An Ugly Kind
Poor little girl named,
No..I won't say who,
did not know what to do.
She has a great burden
that she must carry
given to her
by a trusted man,
who was close and married
He told her not to say
how he stopped her at play
to teach her his many lewd
and ugly carnal games.
So in fear
she would be to blame
and in fear
of her love ones hurting
that poor little girl
promised never to say
and now must carry
that enormous burden.
Written by me in the eighties for a child abuse campaign. Revised 2013
