SALLY


from the ABC set THE FAMILY WAY

Sally was a lovely girl,
The daughter of family friends
Our parents thought to interfere
To join us for the own ends

And being in Sally’s company
Was enjoyable and pleasing
We had always been close
Sharing jokes and teasing

But anything else than that
I would just have to resist her
For to have a sexual relationship
Would have been like bedding my sister

But I was relieved to find out
That Sally had told her mother
That it was simply immoral
To be expected to marry her brother
