Pack of Three

THESE ARE MY CHILDREN,

I LOVE THEM.

SEPARATE PEOPLE,

A CLIQUE.

A PROBLEM? OH NO, WE’RE A BARGAIN.

THREE KINDS OF LOVING, UNIQUE.

THESE ARE MY TREASURES, ENJOY THEM.

DON’T GIVE ME WORDS LIKE ‘YOU’LL COPE.’

A HERO? NO THANKS,

WE DON’T WANT ONE.

DON’T BOTHER THROWING A ROPE.

THESE ARE MY CHICKENS, DON’T HURT THEM.

THEIR HEARTS NEED A HOLIDAY.

WE’VE ALL BEEN SO HURT, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

I CANNOT BE GOING AWAY.

WE ARE A FAMILY, A THREESOME.

ALL A BIT FRAGILE, BUT STRONG.

THE REASON I SHRINK FROM A MAN IS

I’M SCARED OF GETTING IT WRONG.

DON’T TRY TO LAY DOWN THE LAW

OR THROW DOWN A GAUNTLET OR GLOVE.

IF YOU WANT ME,

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER

THE TWO OTHER PEOPLE

I LOVE.
