Begging Tumble ****

He walks with himself

He is his own best company.

He pushes forward and you often do not notice

You ignore his plead but you see him wander

A breathing tumble ****

Shrubbish, wobbly, and *****

He zig zags through the crowd

Sometimes he screams and he too cries

Just like you

Sometimes he trembles in the night

Just like you

Sometimes he dreams of better days

Just like you.
