The Bum
In the city’s slum, in an alley behind a gymnasium, there lives a
bothersome bum. He begs for money, for say a plum, but usually buys
Bacardi rum. And he finds his food in a trash drum.
Once when offered a job selling geraniums and mums, he outright
refused citing tedium and a small pay sum.
Now he has no one with whom to chum, and he looks glum, for his life
has become so grum and pathetically humdrum.
