Replying to a comment on:

A South London Lullaby (Free verse) by Caducus

Swollen as the Thames she wiped her breast, laid Aaron down humming a lullaby to dull reality. Daddy’s gone a-hunting. Mummy’s gone a-hiding. Aaron’s gone asleep. Dreaming of a rabbitskin. Swollen as the Thames she wiped blood from bruises, laid Aaron down opening her blouse to feed reality. Daddy’s gone a-buying fuschias for his Princess begging forgiveness from Rapunzel of the tenements, until Friday night when she’s a whore again.

Good quote. Who's the most famous (infamous?) Old Testament prostitute? And more importantly, why can't I remember her name?
