Tim Kitchen Poet Rhyme

A Coin For My Pocket

A coin for my pocket sir
for something to eat?
with no mum and dad 
we beg on the street.
Not eaten for two days
my little sister and me.
A coin for my pocket sir
for a warm cup of tea? 

A coin for my pocket miss
to get shoes for our feet?
We haven’t got a penny
or anywhere to sleep.
Our feet are really sore
without shoes they bleed.
A coin for my pocket miss
for something we need?

Here is the money mum
from begging on the street.
Got a lot of coins today
from fooling who we meet.
They give us their money
in the old marketplace.
Taking pity on my sister
with her grubby little face.

Tim Kitchen November 9, 2011 at 9:16 AM Yes I agree Catie and I would be one of the fools. The poem is about the people who con us, then we don't give to the ones who really need it. thanks for the comment, Tim
