Jenny at the Demonstration after James Leigh Hunt Jenny Kissed Me

Copper slugged me when we met,
jumping from the bus he’d sat in!
Magistrate, who loves to get
demonstrators jailed, put that in!
Say I fought the Poll Tax fad,
say that “conscience clear” describes me,
say I’m doing time, but add, -
Copper slugged me!

(10 August 1991)
