Please Help
By Elton Camp
It was a heart-wrenching sight
A family in such a sad plight
Pregnant plus having a small child
She held a sign, hopefully smiled
“Please Help,” the sign did plead
Who could ignore such a dire need
Kind people it was easy to spy
Money poured from passers-by
When she decided to call it a day
She was whisked off in a regal way
Into a Mercedes-Benz she stepped
To the dismay of those who helped
She, her son and an unknown man
Laughing just as hard as they can
Counting the money with delight
It was a most disgusting sight
They arrived at another parking lot
Then, even more charity they got
Such greed may be an isolated case
But reproach the two rightly face
