Possibly Bonnie's poem, but also possibly a 'moral danger' poem by an anonymous author which resonated with Bonnie. This poem's name and subject may be influenced by Stephen Crane's 1893 novel ''Maggie, A Girl Of The Streets''. Bonnie's own three poems ''The Story Of Suicide Sal'', ''The Fate Of Tiger Rose'' and ''The Prisoner'', borrow from the structure of this poem.
