All I said was...

 

I wandered lonely as a cloud

and muttered something quite out loud,

Folks around me stopped and stared

other’s didn’t seem to care,

A lady said, “I heard you holler.”

then she handed me a dollar.

That’s the day I quit my job

and opted to become a slob,

Hand-outs, that’s the life for me

at Motel 6, I eat for free –

At Burger King I gather scraps

in doorways I can take my naps

I’m happy almost all the time

“Buddy, can you spare a dime?”
