Reverse Psychology Part Two

I have lived on the streets, they don't talk or think the same In order to survive, communication is a must Since most of them are on drugs of some kind, their thinking is a wreck Most are begging , but not for something to eat, looking a shame There is not one of them you can trust In my Festus way of talking and twisted way of thinking, thought what the heck It is a known fact that a drug addict does not like to eat It would mess up their high, Heaven forbid They are there to beg for drug money Want everyone to feel sorry for them and how they live on the street And who are they trying to kid It is all a put on and a lot of baloney They come prepared thinking you will preach them a sermon So I did a little reverse on that thinking one day Before he had time to start, I said, "You are not fooling me" "You are one of those old crazy Christian, come on" "Supposed to be fasting, but you are back sliding, you will pay" "And undercover Christian snitch, probably turn me into the padre" "Standing at McDonald's, oh get back to your diet" As the two of them had total shock on their face I knew it chilled them to the bone You could hear a pin drop, it got real quiet "This old man is crazy, let's get out of this place" I ate my hamburger and they left me alone

You hit home for me, Danny. There was an old woman selling fake flowers in St. Augustine. Overcome with pity I gave her some money. Later I was having lunch at a nearby bar and she came in to buy alcohol. Wish I'd known she wasn't trying to make enough money to buy food. Love, Carolyn
