A Welldressed Cartoon

A poor man waved
to a well-dressed cartoon
thinking he would drop a coin
in his hands that hard day

A beggar looked at the glass window
he saw picture of a ragged beggar
and went away wondering
He asked whether beggars too
live in glass houses

A rich man passed near
a poor man and beggar he saw
and wondered if these creatures
also live on the planet earth

We live here poor or rich, old or young
But each with different looking glass
