Did you hear about that little boy? ‘That little boy, what little boy?’ The one who took a header in that pool off Brookmill Close! ‘The one who took a header?’ Yes, a header---such a header!
I told them it would happen---they don’t listen. ‘They don’t listen?’ No, they never ever listen, Not until it really happens. But it’s too late for young Jamie.
Only 3 and running swiftly, Slipped and fell right in the middle! ‘In the middle?’ In the middle! Where the water’s at its deepest.
I told them at his funeral I’d tried and no one’d listened They thanked me, ‘’Said it’s no use. It’ll never bring him back.’’
Such a lovely child was Jamie!
