I met a girl on a barstool, in a little country town, In a place where some women would be afraid to be around. But, it didn't seem to bother her for she would not make a "scene" when somebody started trouble or started talking quite obscene! I made my way along the bar 'til I stood right next to her; She slowly looked up at me and said, "how are you, sir?" Then I noticed that she trembled as she reached out for her drink, as she said, "sir, I just came here for a while to sit and think." She said that her Mom and Daddy had divorced when she was small. Her Daddy never wrote a letter or took time to make a call; Things at home were more than rough, so, she "left out" on her own, to try to find somebody so she wouldn't be alone! Well, we must have talked for hours, the bartender gave LAST CALL. But, by then, I knew her story, and how GOOD GIRLS can fall.... Strange things sometimes happen in this place we call the world. For, I found out just tonight, This was my own, sweet, darling girl!!!!!!!! Cletus Hardiman
