SIMON MC GREEDY
This is the story of Simon McGreedy
He traveled through life finding nobody needy.
His eyes turned away from the Vet with one leg,
Let others help those bums who just beg.
Go get a job, no one cares that you’re blind,
He cursed at the brave Vet with half of a mind.
Christmas bellringers he dismissed very fast
With hardly a glance, he sauntered right past.
Souls sleep in doorways, ice cold every night
they can’t count on Simon to ease their sad plight.
We know somewhere in Hell Simon will dwell
With no one to help him in sight.
Homeless will cheer, make a toast with a beer
and celebrate all through the night.
