Looking for the local beggar<\/p>\n
on the street corner<\/p>\n
to hand to him, some leftover food<\/p>\n
that was wholesome, nourishing and good.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But he was not there!<\/p>\n
Were could he be\u00a0 \u00a0O’ were!<\/p>\n
What would I now with the food do<\/p>\n
Before it turns to a messy goo!<\/p>\n

Up and down,\u00a0 I drive on the street.<\/p>\n
My eyes searching in the heat.<\/p>\n

Startled, I stare at this disheveled chap.<\/p>\n
” Sorry Sir! I am very\u00a0 hungry,<\/p>\n
