Poem
When my mam had to go Up north to look after gran, Margaret’s mam said I could Stop with them; while they were Sorting it out Margaret looked Away, pretending to go all shy But there was a gleam in her eye, Anyway it was the six weeks’ Holiday and six weeks with Margaret night and day was a Sun and blue sky heaven to my Ten-year old heart.. the hot Pavements we sat on telling stories, The bin-yards we played catch-and- Kiss in, the wagons with wheels Higher than our heads we hid Behind, the river bank we chased Along, the green railings round The locked petrol pumps you Somersaulted over, your dress Above your head, your navy Blue knickers in full view. Your mam said, "You two needn’t Think you’re keeping me awake All night with your stories, I’ve put you together in the attic!" There was an enormous double-bed With a carved wooden head-board And a counter-pane in green with Tassels in between and a huge White bolster. My mam would have Had a fit but she was off on The train to Durham City and even Margaret herself was a bit surprised At her mam being so easy going But that was her mam all over. There was a tiny skylight With just enough light to see by, A huge mahogany chest of drawers And Margaret and me. I’d never Undressed in front of a girl Before and Margaret said, "Me mam ’Ad no business mekin’ us share" And went a bit red as she pulled Her dress over her head, firmly Pushing teddy to the middle Of the bed. We could hear Margaret’s Mam downstairs getting grandad’s Supper, the smell of steak and Chips rising. Margaret said, "You can kiss me good-night If you like" and I liked and Kissed her then suddenly she Asked "Do you know what they Do in bed? You know what I mean!" But I said I didn’t really. She pulled her vest up And her knickers down, "All right you’ve seen Everything now!" deftly Donning a white nightdress With a border of flowers On the collar "The man puts it inside The woman," I said, going red. She replied, "I’ve never let Anyone see me in the nude before. I didn't think I’d dare but with You, I knew it’d be different, You’d never try anything on." In the middle of the night The cats in the binyard woke us, The whole house silent, we Were very close, her face Was next to mine. She put her finger to her lips, "Swear you’ll never tell!" I swore and touched her where She put my hand: "One day well get married And do it for real."
