A LIGHT
Well it was night and night well night can be all right that is just what a night can be it can be all night. And Rose knew that. Rose knew so much it made her clutch the blue chair closer as she sat on it there.
And then just then what was it, it was not lightning it was not a moon it was not a star not even a shooting star it was not an umbrella it was not eyes eyes in the dark oh dear no it was a light, a light and oh so bright. And there it was way off on another hill and it went round and round and it went all around Rose and it was a search light surely it was and it was on a further hill and surely Will her cousin Will surely he was on another hill and he made the light go round and round and made the ground green not black and made the sky white not black and Rose oh Rose just felt warm right through to her back.
And she began to sing.
A little boy upon a hill
Oh Will oh Will.
A little boy upon a hill
He will oh will.
Oh Will oh Will.
And I am here and you are there, and I am here and here is there and you are there and there is here oh Will oh Will on any hill.
Oh Will oh Will oh Will
Oh Will oh Will.
Will you sang Rose oh yes you will.
And she sang oh will oh will and she cried and cried and cried and cried and the search light went round and round and round and round.
