<poem title="JENNY&#039;S FALL">

<verse>
<line>If she fell outside somewhere</line>
<line>and raked her knee </line>
<line>she&#039;d get back up tearfully</line>
<line>and find her Mum and me</line>
<line>and <em>show</em> us what she&#039;d done. </line>
<line>Nothing faked. </line>
<line>It had to be the real event.</line>
<line>She&#039;d never just tell you.</line>
<line>She&#039;d rather dent.</line>
<line>She&#039;d look you in the face,</line>
<line>and, as large as I live,</line>
<line>with no regard for pain,</line>
<line>she&#039;d throw herself down,</line>
<line>and  hurt herself again</line>
<line>in the very same place.</line>
<line>And she&#039;d say,</line>
<line><em>That&#039;s what I did, Dad.</em></line>
<line><em>That&#039;s what I did, Mum.</em></line>
</verse>
<verse>
<line>Then she&#039;d run off and play.</line>
</verse>
