Simple Sam

SIMPLE SAM Simple Sam chewed rubber bands; Lived in a shelter couldn't afford chewing gum; Would catch pigeons to eat for meat; He thought the wings were sweet; Would pan-handle off the end of the interstate; Would eat the leaves off the trees like grapes; Now he'd wash his clothes, body and hair; By running behind a car in a car wash; And if all that didn't settle; He would chase the dogs that chase the cats for an hour; He had one pair of shoe left foot "All Stars" right foot "KEDS"; At Sunday morning church service was the loudest to say AMEN; Would stick his hands and head in the window of passing autos; Yell, spit, scream at you Hey, give me duce or a dollar; Sticky fingers, licking trees; Rubs mud on his arthritic knees; Every time you stand or walk by him; He'll grip you, squeeze you and hug; Simple Sam's improvised but he loves the Lord; He titles his gleanings 10 percent; Sited by his convictions mercies lent; Never tired, never bored; Wakes in the morning in winter covered in snow; Now you may think you're the man... Ha!!! ya ain't never met SIMPLE SAM 1/27/18 by James Edward Lee Sr.
