Summertime

Which one's Mungo my mother said
That summertime when all I had was women on my mind
Watching ripe peach skinned girls
Hoping they would drop into my arms
Or be as easy to pick up as windfall
Dont bring shame upon this house my mother warned
Ruefully I imagined the council housing department
Running me out of town
While broken hearted women sobbed behind net curtains
