Pram Girl

I saw a thin bloke in the street

Beating a girl pushing a pram

Her wrist was in plaster.

He went limp when I grabbed him

And hopped it so

I took her across the road to a pub to recover where

A woman with ginger hair helped,

A former social worker,

After the pram wheeled away we had a drink and

Agreed to meet.

Its been six months now and being on tablets

She has moods when she thumps me

Just like that thin bloke and the pram girl

pram girl   plaster   tablets   thin bloke
