Beggars Trip Poem by Lee Fones

as I weaved past him
that down and out man
he was very very slim
drinking out fosters can

burping and a slurring
staggering and a babbling
with himself concurring
about a trip been travelling

apparently toured world
smuggled on queens ship
in his rags so furled
had the most amazing trip

he dined with her majesty
ate the finest pork
met a lady called chastity
and ate with knife and fork

he danced upon the ballroom
in his smelly shabby attire
even turned up the volume
people called him squire

he was loved by everyone
from every continent
indeed that Mr Noone
scuppered back in tent
