Stones
 

Yes
I hid
In the bushes
By the river
With the kids
And we did
Throw stones
At the donkey

Because
The boys
Handed me rocks
And we didn’t know
Whose donkey it was

Yes
I saw
It was tied
With a rope
When it tried to run
And I did feel pity
But they told me
It often kicked people

Yes
I regret
Throwing rocks
But I couldn’t toss
Very strong
So I don’t think
My stones hit it
