Mary Taft, adopted as a baby
No one knew her real name
Raised by a well to do family
Went to church every Sunday
Until the age of sixteen
When she became unruly
Skipped school, got in fights
Did drugs, got drunk
Ran with a bad crowd
Stole from stores
Sold her body for money
Maybe Mary was
Genetically fated
To be like her real mother
A pretty streetwalker who
Spent time in jail for theft
Got hooked in drugs
And died of an overdose

Bob Boyd
