don't forget the redbull

another one inspired by riggy

What would you like for lunch today, my love? 

riggy asked her homeless friend on the street

lunch? ah not today, I only pray that others may treat

me like you do, my darling, if only you knew

how much your smile is worth
for your pure smile
for a short while

consoles this restless heart, 

and this is enough for me.

-her eyes sparked as if to agree-

riggy spoke, listen friend 

there's no need to pretend, 

that there's nothing you want or need

just give me your list and I'll whisk 

to Sainsbury's and get you what you request

for you might not be offered anything for the rest

of the day. 

Okay, her friend replied, 

I'd like a cheese and onion pasty, hot please

and a donut with fresh cream, mmm and some tea

ah I would love some tea, 

for it's very chilly, out here on the streets

and a can of coke, a redbull too 

and if it's not too much trouble

I'd like a double chocolate chip cookie

riggy laughed

Okay, I'll be back in a bit, 

wait here, don't flit 

off to some other place. 

Her friend responded

thank you for your kindness, 

I would embrace you

but I haven't washed in days, 

and my clothes are matted and sticky

and it would be tricky

for you to explain, why you smell that way. 

-riggy hugged her anyway-
in everyday
-there is an opportunity-
