The Hooker and the Gentleman

In one of those nights under a corner light he picked her up for a ride she smelled cheap cologne he smelled acqua di gio they stopped by the bridge how much,he asked two hundred she said fine, here is my credit card that's all i got what are you kidding me you fat bastard where is my money you cheap mthfckr get out of my car he yelled or i'm gonna call the cops and took off he went home where wife and two kids were waiting at the table for supper he kissed everyone he sat said a quick prayer told them how tiring is to be a provider "it takes pride and honesty" he said and went straight to bed happy that again he had a good day... There is no hollywood ending in this little tale while the poor hooker is sitting still there under the corner light waiting for her pimp that will show up to collect the money and they're not enough it is what it is it's not wrong or right...
