Trousers Lady
|
She walked in a morning With friends happy and light She wore trousers A little tight And a blouse a little shining
“To the market, I will go” Silvia said to her mother “Take care and come early, Should you be late, there is your brother”
“Hey, you walking there!” Said the cop in voice hoarse and fierce “Come here,” said him coming nearer
Silvia trembled with fear “What have I done?” said she “Come with me and talk no more” said he
The case is opened The charges are read “She wore tight trousers” It1s a crime! It’s a crime!
Silvia cried, “oh my mother!” Fifty lashes she received Some on the exquisite hands Others on the mild back More on the beautiful legs That walked but fifteen years on earth
Silvia went home sobbing and crying On her bed laid herself Sobbing and crying She cursed them all.
