Ted

Ted was a proper torturer he'd gag me after tea he'd ram a flannel down my gob then dangle me on his knee A virgin when I married my mums and dad were Mormons home-schoolers don't do sex Ed. much though they did go on about hormones I thought Ted's ways were normal it was all new ground to me my terrified eyes would turn him on so I didn't have the heart to flee I got used to the violent jerking I got used to a gob full of flannel but I wished I'd prayed and made a fuss when he hid me behind his panel.

G'day S. O. Fasrus … Cripes! If your poem is fact, although I have heard this bullying does happen, it's a darn disgrace. I suppose we only know what we learn if we're isolated - thank you S. O. - Lindsay

It is not my fact. But there are enough news stories of sadists around to know that this is a conceivable experience for some. The 'I' in the poem is of the Dramatic Personae kind.
