I'm a nervous wreck and I'm getting increasingly angry, everytime I look at this worthless check. As my money grows scarcer, my attitude grows more fiercer. Nobody seems to love me, since I have no money. A week ago, my girlfriend left me because, I had no dough. (money) Today, my landlawyer kicked me out the door. He cursed me and said, "don't come back anymore!" So I'm broke with no girl and no friends. I feel like killing myself, so that this terrible life could end. You know, it's hard to support your drug habits your girl and your child. With all these problems, it's no wonder why I rarely smile. An hour ago, my boss fired me because, I had severe body hygiene. My fellow workers had enough complaints, to make it rain. Now I'm on the streets, looking like a bum and looking for food to eat. Right now as I speak, I'm holding up a sign that says, "I will work for food, please help me!" It's amazing how quickly my life is plummeting. I must admit though, that I had it coming but, I will stay positve because with hard work, perservation, and good luck, eventually I'll move up. As of now, I'm a bummer, in the summer. But by autumn, I guarantee that I won't be, rock bottom. Nathan |

My bad, I should have said that this poem isn't about me. But if you saw the title, you would see that I'm speaking for the bums out there. In fact, I'm like the voice for an actual bum that don't write poetry but I do so, my poetry is his voice that speaks. I hope you got that because it don't come clearer than that. By the way, you must have a bad life or something the way you're verbally attacking me. Well you picked the right hobby, poetry. Release all the anger and whatever else is on your mind and oh yeah, make it positve too. Nathan |

People, people, people, how many times do I have to say that the poem isn't about me. I give up, I guess some just don't understand English. Before I leave on this note, I would like to thank Whiskey and Quiet lightning for responding to my poem. Nathan |

Nate, Toerag wasn't attacking you...you misread what he was saying....he said you display too much 'sharpness' to be in that situation. Besides, Toe would only pick on Balladeer and LongJhn...hehehehehe...that's his job around here!!!  I understand that you are 'talking' for the 'bums' out there that can't express themselves. A poet laureate for the underdog! I read a poem like that in one of my books last night but now I can't remember the author! I thought it was a noble idea though! I liked your poem, Nate. Denise |

You're welcome, Nate! Oh, by the way, Toerag is a 'he' not a 'she'! And a really great 'he', too! And I always say it takes a big man to admit a mistake and apologize...and I see that you have, so in my book you are a big man! Denise |
