The Bum and The Mob Boss

Savaging what he has left 
after the mafia takes his last 
bowl of soup his last slice of 
bread his last cup of coffee 
the mob boss then gives the 
bum a cigarette and a light 
pats him on the shoulder 
tells him to keep warm its 
cold out here drives off 
the mob boss then douubles 
back around and ask the bum 
for change for the parking 
meter the bum reaches in 
his pocket with worn finger tips 
torn gloves and give the 
mob boss his last dime 
and says take it that's it 
that's all I have the mob boss 
scratches his head and says 
are you sure this is your 
last dime the bum replies 
yes I'm sure take it you need 
it way more than me now stunod
stumps I’m your new Boss Bum
now do you got any change
