• A Nickel a penny

    Walking along a brick stone rode I beg for food and money, nobody cares.
    When the rode was covered in a sheet of white blankets I can hear you.
    Screaming, yelling, crying, from the cold I went. I asked a lady
    “Can u spare a nickel a penny?”
    But she refused, I asked a young man,
    “A nickel a penny May u spare for thee?”
    He did not answer, then he shook his head. Last thing I know I sat on a porch deck and cuddled
    And clanged to a curtain for warmth, then a old man came out of the house and said
    “Why are you so cold, why are you so weak?”
    So I said,
    “Well thee cannot spare a nickel or e penny.”
    So he walked along with me at a markets edge and said, A nickel a penny.
