Mummy I said - one of the girls in my class
It’s her birthday - and this evening she’s having
a party - can I go -
I put on my favourite party dress - Mum
carefully wrapped up some cheap Turkish jewellery
In a piece of tissue paper - for my gift -
And up the road I went - outside school five
or six girls stood around - the girl
whose birthday it was arrived with her Dad
in the car - and as everybody went to get
In - the girl said to me - you can’t come -
and her father sternly followed by saying
I’m afraid you’re not invited - you don’t have an invitation -
I waited outside of school for as long as I
could - and after hiding the jewellery - I went home -
Mum - asked “did you enjoy the party” - yes I said
It was lovely -
That night - I laid in bed and cried - I cried
Myself to sleep - and in the morning I asked -
Mummy - what’s an invitation.
