This is the story of three girls I heard
A lot about on national news lately.
The first one, Shannon, aged nine, disappeared
Three weeks ago but was found yesterday,
Hiding in a bed with an uncle she
Had been kidnapped by or run away to.
The second one, Scarlett, unhappily,
Was killed in Goa, India, and two
Men arrested. Youngsters. Drugs. Drink. Well, you
Know what can happen. And now for the third.
An as yet unnamed girl under twenty
Cycling in Liverpool, heard to argue
With three passers-by in a car. They neared
And then stabbed her to death. That’s the story.
