Poem: No Stone Unturned
A poem about how kids can be cruel
We were throwing stones,
and a grumpy neighbour
told us to stop. We started
back up when she went inside.
Her little girl came out
and said that her mum said
that she was gonna tell our fathers
if we didn’t stop. And we told her
that at least we had fathers,
and ran off laughing.
We’d saved the biggest stone
for the end.



Eek. I remember as a child realising that bullies often had absent fathers and feeling sorry for them
