Homeless Man And His Dog
throw him a nickle
maybe a dime
tell yourself he'll be fine
careful not to look into his eyes
he has feelings
an inconvenient surprise
by his side his loyal companion
a little dog he cannot abandon
throw them a nickle
maybe a dime
tell yourself they'll be just fine
you come home
turn on the light
they'll find shelter from the night
you take a shower
and go to bed
but thoughts of them fill your head
so in your car you go to find
the sad little pair you left behind
... ... ... so in your car
...
...
...
so in your car you go to find
the sad little pair you left behind
only to greet their absence
Homeless Man and His Dog
Yes you're right. They were gone by the time I went to find them. I had no cash on hand when they were out there and contrary to the poem it had only been 2 hours and was during the day. I was working and couldnt leave again until I was done for the day. I still think about them and hope someone helped.
