Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief - if he had a rich man in his hand. And who would steal the candy from a laughing baby`s mouth if he could take it from the money man. Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again. She signs no contract but she always plays the game. Dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel, and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school. Laughing in the playground - gets no kicks from little boys: would rather make it with a letching grey. Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung, who watches through the railings as they play. Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along. She`s a poor man`s rich girl and she`ll do it for a song. She`s a rich man stealer but her favour`s good and strong: She`s the Robin Hood of Highgate - helps the poor man get along. |
