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
