A beggar knocked on my window A tap was enough to grab my show He was a little boy of four I never saw him no more He asked for support He drowned in the Chesapeake Now he is a drunkard And he likes his whiskey with rye bread Unlike the dead crowd in bar of wry attendants His paltry cash deposits make for no riches He lives life with crutches Barely makes it a mile with no shoes on But he knows how to run from the dour cops Because he has always been in trouble His name is trouble He tap dances on streets in a disguise To save the attention and scour for glory From the remains of some dead poet
