Can I Have That Pound In Your Hand.
Hi please can you possibly help kind man
Could you spare that pound in your hand
I'm hungry and I could do with a hot drink
I know I am a mess, and that I really stink
Take a moment, please try to understand
I really need that old pound in your hand
Sorry I am not an alcoholic or drug addict
No, I am not a tramp or a greasy maggot
just a man who is a little down on his luck
Living on the streets homeless and broke
So, man have you now tried to understand
Please can I have that pound in your hand.

Been there a couple of times in life. Very relatable 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day
You too! And you’re most welcome 🙏🏻🕊️
Charity such a wonderful topic and struck at so keenly with this poem. I used to be tight but my wife taught me to be nonjudgmental and more giving. She would give to all. A very wonderful poem Tobani.
Thank you for your kind feedback, very much appreciated
The pristine beauty of this pretty number is the fact of the item requested. I've been asked to spare our currency, and only one dollar at that, except I am a member of the cashless society, nor have even that much in cash. It's all cards and only plastic. This is too gorgeous, I love it! Rendered in seeming simplicity, it has a frankness which charms irresistibly, the imagery superb, and its haunting poignancy lingering. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind feedback, very much appreciated
Well written. I love how you put the reader into the shoes of the homeless, the impoverished, the shunned. Thank you for sharing Natiella! Have a great evening, my friend! 🌹👏
Thank you, have a great weekend
