A Beggarman Got in My Face Today

               A beggarman got in my face today
               yelling and screaming, his finger poking my stomach

                   He showed me how cruel I’ve become
                   when I dared call him a filthy bum

               Of course he exploded, called me all sorts of names
               most of which were decidedly not me

                    ‘til I gave that man a piece of my mind
                    which he spat on although it was free

P is for Progressive. The 'g' is for gaslighter.
