He had hands the snuck under skirts
Lips that feathered kisses on cheeks
A heart that belonged to everyone
Mama would shake her head and say,
"that boy Rodney is a force you mustn't reckon with"
to sway my heartstuck soul
She was only looking out for her little flower
As all mothers do
And I like a dumb calf heeded not her words
And trotted straight into the snares of evilHe had a smile so kind but his eyes were red like rubies
