Mr Dirt
His name is Billy Reynolds.
He's called other names by some.
There are those that call him " Mr. Dirt".
But by most he's called "the bum"!
I see him as he strolls along,
but I don't know where he goes.
Any time - day or night,
and he wears the same old clothes.
His wardrobe rarely changes much,
no matter what the season.
It appears he never takes a bath
for some ungodly reason.
I've seen him walking with a guitar.
As he walks along, he sings.
That really doesn't sound so odd,
except the guitar has no strings!
I've wondered where he sleeps at night,
or where he gets his meals.
I've wondered what his life is like,
what he thinks and how he feels?
How do you suppose he got that way?
What do you contend?
Me, I can't imagine,
it's hard to comprehend!
How long can he go on that way,
walking the streets alone?
I hope the good Lord watch's over him,
until the day He calls him home.
