Down a Storm Drain
I’m crying because I dropped Heather
Down a storm drain, now she's gone forever
My Mum says that Heather is just make believe
So she’ll be no help to get poor Heather out
As my heart it doth bleed and my soul it doth plead
Not quite sure what I should do next
Maybe call 999 requesting some help
But having no phone I cry, I'm perplexed
Whilst a crowd is beginning to gather
When they see me, a child all alone
Tears pour from my eyes as I blabber
They do not comprehend when I speak of my friend
Then all of a sudden a tap on my shoulder
I felt a few times, as it became bolder
I twisted around to the glorious sound of
her voice and her sweet smiling face
Taking one look at me all swollen and red
Her hug and her voice it did calm me instead
Whatever had happened to cause such distress
I told her my fears why I’d burst into tears
I asked how she’d managed to climb from the drain
For my crying and shouting had all been in vain
Heather told me she magically wafted above
When she saw my distress and my undying love
A crowd that had gathered saw us walk down the lane
Hand in hand, two sweet girls, now both happy again
A neighbour of ours who had witnessed the scene
Described it to Mum telling what she had seen
So now Mum believes, though she still can’t see Heather
My make believe friend she’ll be with me forever
