my awakening

I CAME HOME FROM SINGAPORE

ALL INNOCENT AND TANNED

A NEIGHBOURS DAUGHTER DECIDED

SHE'D TURN ME INTO A MAN.

COME INTO THE TREEHOUSE

SHE WAS BECKONING TO ME

LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT ''JIMMY''

I'VE HEARD THERE'S LOT'S TO SEE.

I DID'NT KNOW WHO ''JIMMY'' WAS

IT WAS A NAME I COULD'NT RECALL

THE BEMUSED LOOK UPON MY FACE

MUST HAVE SAID IT ALL.

''OH'' I SEE YOU'RE A VIRGIN

SHE SAID. THEN TAUGHT ME HOW TO KISS

HER FINGERS CRAWLED UP MY INNER LEG

OOOOOOOOH , LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.

WITH EACH STROKE I WAS SIGHING

BUT BEGGING HER FOR MORE

THEN SHE TOLD ME WHAT I HAD TO DO

BEFORE SHE SHOWED ME WHAT ''JIMMY'' WAS FOR.

DON'T BE SO EAGER

SHE SAID . AS I TORE AT HER DRESS

BE VERY GENTLE AND TAKE YOUR TIME

YOU ARE VISITING A NEW ADDRESS.

SOON I WAS LEADING

WHAT A GOOD STUDENT I HAD BEEN

I WAS THE KING OF ENGLAND

AND SHE MY LOVING QUEEN.

IN THAT TREEHOUSE WITH MY NEW FRIEND

I I LEARNED A LITTLE MORE EACH DAY

UNTIL THREE YEARS LATER , HER FATHER

GOT A NEW JOB AND THEY MOVED AWAY.

BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET HER

NOR THE LESSON'S THAT SHE GAVE

AND I WILL CARRY THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORY

UNTIL THEY PUT ME IN MY GRAVE.
