Lonely Man


The lone, dark man
            walking on the street!
He ain’t got no boots on his feet!
When he sleeps, to cover him there is no sheet!
Nothing to protect him from the sleet!
I, with him, did once meet!
He offered me a seat!
I said no, and gave him some money to buy some meat!
I felt happy then, and in my head a happy bird sang –
            tweet tweet!
