65 Cents....
I was walking to the bus stop
those city streets get crowded
people from all walks of life
and some just barely walking
confronted by a panhandler
asked me for a dollar....
reached deep into my pocket
said here,it's all i've got
the panner looked with spiteful eyes
said,"65 cents,no dollar"
replied said I,"you've got all I got"
only a bus pass I have left....
I walked away with a half smile
half frown,ungrateful few
make it hard for everybodyelse
now...when I give,and see that look
I call it ...." 65 cents "
