Little Shirley Beans

I went on a long walk because I wasnt meeting Sally till two o'clock. I couldn’t stop thinking about the nuns and their crumby suitcases. I wanted to find a record store in Broadway to get Phoebe a record called ‘Little Shirley Beans’. It was really hard to get and I guessed if I could get it anywhere it would be there.It was about a kid who loses her two front teeth. I thought it would be good for Pheobe. She understands anything I talk to her about. Theere was a family walking infront of me. They looked sorta poor but like a proper family. The kid looked great, he was just walking on the road, right next to the curb singing to himself. ‘If a body catch a body coming through the rye.’ His Mum and Dad weren't paying attention to him. He just kept on singing to himself. The first storee I went in had the record, they charged me 5 bucks for it because it was so hard to get, but I didn’t care,I just wanted to give it to Pheobe. I felt like giving Jane a buzz when I came outta the store, so I did, but her Mum answered so I hung up. I wasn't too crazy about the thought of talking to her Mum over the phone. I went to get tickets for some benifit performance that me and sally could see. She was so phoney I knew she would love it.
I knew Pheobe liked skating in the park on Sundays so I went over there to see if she was there. Some kid on the park told me she would be in the museum. In the end I knew she wouldn't be becuase it was Sunday, but I wanted to go anywhere. I like the museum, it would just be the same as it was when I last went in when I was a kid. I walked all the way to the goddam museum but as I got the the door I didn't want to go in, I just got a goddam taxi to meet Sally.
