children

Once there was this kid who
got into an accident
and couldn't come to school
but when he finally came back
his hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
the cars had smashed so hard

Once the was this girl who
wouldn't go and change
with the girls in the change room
and when they finally made her
they saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
they'd always just been there

But both girl and boy were glad
'cause one kid had it worse than than

'cause then there was this boy whose
parents made him come directly home
right after school
and when they went to their church
they shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
they'd always just gone there
