Her ghostly stories make our hairs stand on end, Her sexual innuendo may sometimes offend, Clothing swap shops and charity bargain buys, Stain glass window design may come as a surprise. Conker concussion and a tendency to say fuck, When kids are around Woodward should look, A fetish for small feet that she rubs on…

Bring me in, help me out,All the tension makes me shout.Angry, betrayed, jealous & scared,As if you think I hadn’t…
