Gingerbread Man
By Joseph Coelho
from Werewolf Club Rules
Billy chased me round the playground
with hands full of fists
Billy yelled at me across the football pitch
with a mouth full of stings.
Billy spat, jibed and cawed
as I ran away singing…
“You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread man.”
Billy had red hair.
I was cruel and called him names.
