Proverbs 14:31 “He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors him has mercy on the needy.”
No trespassing! You with the straw hat you need to go You’ve a startled face that laughs as you scratch your belly Recycle man and your thirty-nine-gallon bag in tow There’s nothing to salvage here, only rubbish I throw It’s my property which you invade, you’re in my alley No trespassing! You with the straw hat you need to go You're an eyesore to behold, I told you long ago But words mean nothing, man of rubbish so smelly Recycle man and your thirty-nine-gallon bag in tow My hands shake, I pray that you don’t come by tomorrow I’ve seen you eat out of the can, this isn’t a deli No trespassing! You with the straw hat you need to go A penny a dime a quarter, it's chump change you borrow What can these empties buy what is your tally? Recycle man and your thirty-nine-gallon bag in tow Haunting dreams in which you appear, it irks me so I’ll set a trap for you, a poisoned biscuit and jelly No trespassing! You with the straw hat you need to go Recycle man and your thirty-nine-gallon bag in tow
