Unsubstantiated

I walked through that door They said "please, sit down" "We've got some bad news, And it's all over town" "Someone said something, And said it was you" "She said that you touched her, We know that's not true" I've always loved kids In all the right ways I never looked AT THEM Not even sideways Along comes His Ex His Ex with a grudge She took my good name And turned it to sludge We all were questioned, By all the experts Questions that frightened And questions that hurt And "NO"was the answer The little girl said "Oh, I sat on his lap" "But!, he only read!" "Unsubstantiated" was The word that they used It stays with you always A huge mental bruise Forty years later I keep them at bay NO!, It's not right But how it will stay
