Bunty Hope  


I once knew a girl at school 

Here name was Bunty Hope 

We were friends as we both loved 

Poetry 

But then she disappeared 

Off of the radar 

As her parents moved 

To America 

We kept in touch 

For a while 

And then our letters faded 

I was in Flagstaff recently 

Waiting for a train 

When a tall woman 

Came up to me 

And asked if I knew Betty Hope 

I said that I had known a Bunty Hope 

But I had never known a Betty 

She then asked if I knew a Berry Hope 

My answer was the same 

It was then that my train arrived 

And I asked the woman 

Why she was asking these questions

She said that she was a literary agent 

And was wanting to know more 

About
