He had a thing for plaid skirts.
\nIt’s what I tell them when they call.
\nAn apology, the best I have.<\/p>\n
He had a thing for rulers,
\nand chalk and knee-high socks
\nwith shiny black buckled shoes.<\/p>\n
He had a thing for red marks,
\nfor pigtails, for commands.
\nIt was harmless. I believed
\nit was harmless.
\nBut he had a thing for plaid skirts,
\nA little thing for little plaid skirts.<\/p>\n
