The Upbeat Downtown Raggedy Man

Don't know his name.
Don't know his game.
He has no shame,
But all the same

He's there every day.
He won't go away.
He never will stray;
Living just for today.
You view him with dread
As he begs to be fed;
A quarter for bread;
A buck for a bed.

Calm in repose;
Forgiving of those
Put off by his clothes,
Or the life that he chose.

He's the upbeat
Downtown  raggedy man,
Getting along
As best he can.
