How much a day would I need?
A penny for a ride,
a few notes for a bite.
Spare some more to settle with a nice read.
A sip of caffeine is just as cheap.

How many things would I need?
A pair of footie to walk me home.
Nice comfortable dress to cover and give warmth.
Maybe a tote to juggle things along.

I don't need a dozen pairs to keep me happy.
A wardrobe so full to dress myself hippie.

Cause there are people who walk on bare soles.
No fashion to choose from to look like Ziggy or Kate moss.

All they have is what they have.
No stock, no choice, no chance to moan.

I will learn from these simple people,
that I'm just as simple, if I remember to live simply.
Just some thoughts to console and encourage myself when i was financially burdened.
