Wanting To Eat Poem by April Humason

I've been living on the street
Since I was in a car seat
I never filled out a time sheet
So please don't mistreat
When I only want to eat

Sitting in this heat
Wanting a treat
To eat

Got my self on parole
So now I have to enroll
For selling my soul
Out on a pole
That was my toll

So now I'm Sitting in this heat
Selling me as the treat
To eat

I have no home
So the streets I roam
This is my gnome
Asking for money outside the dome
In the great old Rome

Stuck in this heat
Asking for you to treat
So I can eat

If I give a hand job
Or decide to rob
Dress like a slob
Or have no job
don't be a snob

Till you're stuck in the heat
Begging for a treat
So you can eat

I know I'm to blame
For bringing the family shame
And changing my name
To hide from the fame
Please don't defame

Till your hid in the heat
Holding a sign up for a treat
So you can eat

Don't judge me
When you disagree
About me be absentee
Cause you'll never see
Until you agree

To live a day in my heat
This is not a treat
That you want to eat
