A Street Souse Poem by John Sensele

A Street Souse



A souse snored by the roadside
Where by dint of binge he fell asleep
Dreaming socialites stole the pride
He could no longer keep.

The souse traded his dignity for a mug
Half filled with rotten rum
That once gobbled made him smug
As a waitress spanked his boisterous bum.

The souse ate no meal all day long
Cos a meal he couldn't afford
So long as he lived wrong
Crawling on his towards a ghetto ford where he caused much discord.

The souse of no fixed abode
Cursed society for his plight
Accusing humankind and God
Whom he vowed at all costs to fight.
