Ruth
Teeth stained, odour untamed
Ruth is her name
She smiles everyday
My friend Ruth
She likes city views
Just like me and you
Night-time falls
Unphased by the cold
My friend Ruth explores
Pipes, bridges
Benches, boxes
She calls this place home
Crime free and tax free
My friend Ruth is happy
Why wouldn't she be?
