GROOMING

‘I think you’re pretty, little girl
and I’d be friends with you
Just imagine if you please
how good I’d be to you.

We could come, have pancakes sweet
and watch the boats sail by
For I have bubbly lemonade,
Come and see the view! ’
...
I need to do as I am told
He said he’d be my friend
I don’t know if it’s really true
But what am I to do...

Daddy does it anytime
Men pay him for me
Hurts a lot and I get sick
Mummy does it too
