'When Joan was only one,
she already knew where she was going.
'Going right? Left?
'No - straight on. '
'When she was five she was writing,
"'Dear Father Christmas,
"'I don't want a doll,
and I don't want a big red ball.
"'What I want is a pair of silk stockings,
"'and I mean silk, not artificial. "'
'She was 12 before she got
her first silk stockings
'and they were artificial.
'See? All the other girls are waiting
for the bus.
'And waiting.
'Look - here she comes,
straight for the milk van.
'Is she going to get a lift? She is. '
'At 18, she's a working girl
and still knows what she wants.
'A boy wants to take her to the movies,
twice a week, if she'll let him.
'She would rather dine at the best hotel
in town, even if it's only once a month.
'There she is, that tall, skinny girl.
'Will he take her? He will. '
'She's 25 now, and in one thing
she's never changed -
'she still knows where she's going. '
Good evening, Miss Webster.
