MYCROFT HAS A SECRET

Such a nice old gentleman.
Sits and waves to all the kids.
Five stopped by one day to visit.
They were never seen again.
Shovels and a sack of lime,
will sure speed up the process.
Wipe your shoes
and clean your clothes.
No evidence left behind

Mycroft has a secret
of five schoolgirls
planted in a row.
But he never
talks about them or
what happened
seven years ago.

Tends his garden every day,
walks over to the schoolyard.
With candy for the children,
he stops to watch them play.
You wonder what he's thinking,
or if he understands
what he did so long ago.
He sits and stares unblinking.

Mycroft has a secret
of five schoolgirls
planted in a row.
But he never
talks about them or
what happened
seven years ago.
