The Pastor Who Pinched my Walkman

 

He was on television receiving an award

Community service to marginalized youth

And chairman of a committee of community pastors

For the promotion of community somethings

 

I remembered him from the fifth period

He was a funny kid when term began

By May his eyes had narrowed and his smile was gone

So was my Walkman, but I wished him well

 

When after a few more years he was sentenced to prison

It wasn’t for pinching somebody’s Walkman
