Sue said,
Well, thank God he's gone!
The man had just left,
leaving a pile of leaflets
on the table,
the one on top proclaiming,
HOW TO HEAL!
underneath a picture of a church.
He had offered them to Kath,
a wheelchair user,
believing that her incapacity
(as he put it)
could be healed through faith;
polite yet firm,
Kath had disagreed.
It was a shame, really;
Kath and Sue
had come to the park
to do a little birdwatching,
have a nice cup of tea...
but, as Kath's friend John had warned her,
you attract no end of weirdos
when you start using a wheelchair.
