So foster parents Margaret's fate
Which wasn't great as I'll relate.
They took her in cos they got paid.
So just made sure the rules were obeyed.
That meant for Margaret bread and jam
While everyone else tucked into ham.
She'd get exactly what the rules said;
And if she complained be sent to bed.
The children teased her, made her mad.
Then she'd get blamed by their mum and dad.
She'd be left all alone in the dark.
Wouldn't be taken with them to the park.
There was one rule for them; another for her
The family's children they'd always prefer.
Who knows how long this all went on
Before her mother saw something wrong.
She came and took her poor Margaret away
She'd find somewhere else for her to stay.
Just a note and a little aside
When crossing a road to the other side
A policeman often used to help her
Perhaps her dad you could infer?
Maybe he had a guilty heart
Regretted lives he'd torn apart?
Would things get better? We'll have to see.
Stay with me and my history.
