my guitar slowly wept

I slept with my piano

Poverty and hunger are bedfellows.~ The Poet~ 

Alluring, pleading
Yet it will burn,
Pangs of hunger
Immanent yearn.

So forlorn
For the poverty 
To which she was born.

While I was reading in the bath
Though most might jump and scream and flee,
I just gave a little laugh

Plays chess with me
