No Good Deed Unpunished

By Elton Camp The words of Jesus, Chef Arnold tries to heed By actions, the hungry, homeless ones to feed Words alone to the needy, Jesus did condemn For the hungry, words won’t do good for him Fort Lauderdale proclaims such as a No! No! To give them food must not continue to be so However, Chef Arnold at ninety years old Refuses to kowtow and to do as he’s told Gourmet food the chef prepares free But the cops just won’t let him be The kind man ticketed for a law violation Is a sight that has disgusted the entire nation Such a lack of compassion is surely a shame Rightly besmirches Fort Lauderdale’s name (Google it and see for yourself)
