Caught out in the downpour of rain
the colors of umbrellas dancing along
slick is the sidewalk on which he sits
swigging his cider and smoking his pipe
smiling just a little
as he begs for his pennies
"Thankyou and God Bless."
Caught in the pouring of greedy customers
the colors of faces, angry or stressed
queuing before the place which I am sat
rubbing my forehead and sighing loud
smiling just a little
as I work for my pennies
"Thankyou and next please."
