Boy of Repression
Heavy sighs escaped the Doctor.
"Virginal thinking...
Virginal wishes!...
Strange men at that hour!
Mutterings of political consequence..."
He was never victim to violence or abuse,
yet he empathised with the tender Girl.
A tear nearly dared surface.
"The board would deny her custody...
Just a poor boy of repression."
