Can you spare a quarter

I got the call...


Poem Artwork

I am ready for action
When needed, that's me
I can mend a ripped seam
Lend a shoulder to thee
But I got the call today
On my cell, a quarter was needed
Please bring it to me, he said
Make that, he pleaded
Mine fell out of my pocket
He explained and then I soften
Sure you can have one this time
Just don't call that often

Have never been ask for a quarter, but
the bums do ask for dollars and fives,
and tens, and so on.
So the bums are calling now for money?
You have to take it to them?
Was it a bum, or I hope not someone
in the family, cause you'll surely
never get it back.
