a good cause

i'm taking a collection
for a very good cause.
the cause being me.
my hand is out, my
cup, my hat, my shoe,
i am on the street with
my carboard sign and a
bottle of water.
i'm not sick, or lazy,
or lame of foot, i just
would like a handout.
a free ride for the final
years. i'll be here all
day until i get my million,
no wait, why not two
and then i can find
a bed and sleep all day.
