we would max out our plastic
treasure in order to buy
rounds for all our mates
at the bar, but become
skinflints over feeding
a few hungry souls,
we would take out
a second mortgage
in order to have that
vacation of a lifetime
but turn into mini-Scrooges
when someone needs
shelter from winter's blast,
we would borrow ten dollars
from a buddy in order
to have another cup of joe
at the newest coffee shop
but roll up the window as
the car draws near the
fellow on the corner
holding a hand-written
plea for help.
