Free Living

Drove a rusting
beat up truck
never had money
forget about luck
life went from bad 
to worse for me
until I got arrested
now living's free
3 solids a day 
hot showers daily
the man says jump 
I do so gladly
look rough on the outside 
a loser inside 
not much left 
on the other side

Yup. Three squares a day. Shades of 'Soapy' in an O'Henry tale whose title escapes me. Thanks, Peter. :) gw
