'Pen'ny Pup
On a rainy day walking downtown
my thoughts somewhere other than there
I came upon a beggar, wearing a frown
his clothes ragged, upon his head, matted wet hair
He said, a penny for a pup
I can no longer care for him
he barks constantly and won't shut up
please take him, his name is Slim
Under his ragged coat hidden from the rain
was the cutest beagle I'd ever seen
his dark brown eyes full of pain
calling out to me with all his being
Slim, I said, for you I'll care
and for a penny, the pup was mine
as I walked away, I sensed a stare
then, felt a sharp pain in my spine
When I awoke, my wallet missing
Slim was licking my eyes and cheek
that penny pup was just the thing
that got me mugged that rainy week
