Homeless and faced with the unexpected

Unable to pay bills I ended up on the street,

Intense cold and a lack of sleep I did meet.

I had never lived on the street ,my first winter was insane,

The cold,the frost-bite ,the lack of sleep was a constant pain.

 

Being an addict became my full time job,

Constantly begging and sneaking into shops to rob.

One day I went door to door looking for work to make ends meet,

And a wealthy young man came out and joyfully me did greet.

 

"I have a porch at the rear of my house which needs a full repaint,

£500 quid I will give you ," In shock I nearly did faint.

It took me 4 hours to do the job really well,

"But it's not a Porche,it's a Lamborghini !!" The man I did tell.

I seriously didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I got to the end!
I see such poor souls every day where I live - distressing whether through their own fault or not.
