She Pawned Her Ring

She pawned her ring went into hock Sold her long hair went into shock Took to the streets with naught to eat Just a smidgen of dope and a cup of hope Tried to beg took in a few bucks Injured her leg cried, 'This really sucks' Do you know this poor soul She's rather pretty, not very old A decent gal, she fell through the cracks of a godless world, where the 'haves' talk smack

Yes. It took your astute comment to nudge me to see it this way, Michael. Thank you! Peace, Gershon

I knocked on a door, asked for some bread, the lady said scram bum. The baker dropped dead! --Joe Hill 1913 So things never change!
