A KISS FOR SUSAN SMITH

Susan says that she's not the "monster"
they make her out to be—and it's the same for me

Susan was—and still is—a very beautiful woman
I'd kiss her if I could

She's older than me, but I wouldn't care
She would be the exception and example of modern flair

Who Susan really is—I have no idea but
to understand her, the parole board should

Susan is a person
that's easy for them to forget

I remember her—my odd boyhood crush
I seen her on TV—thinking with a rush

If I'd known her in time, it could've
saved us both from infamy

And maybe, there'd've been little versions
of her and me

Sad now, of all that could be
