Ten homeless people asked me for money the other day
As I traveled to and fro
One man moved to another spot and asked me twice
But I gave each person a dollar
I was looking for the thrift store that sells clothes for a dollar each piece
I was approached so many times
That I never made it there
I only had ten dollars and a bus token
And was down to my last two dollars
As I took the next to the last bus
That I needed to get home
I gave away my last two dollars and some change
Then walked eight blocks to my dwelling place
In the rain.
