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)
