and post notes and photos about your poem like Di11y Da11y.
Written for the organ grinder contest. There is not much money to be made busking and if you check Google images many pictures show people with worn out clothes and shoes falling apart (an expression of being poor is 'on your uppers' as the sole is falling off your shoe). However there is always a brightness in the eyes of those playing and often children dancing around. It's more a vocation to bring joy and perhaps just get by with enough to eat. I've never walked in an organ grinders shoes though, or taken drugs nor do I play an instrument :)
