Hey Mate!

 

 

 

"Hey Mate!

 

Can you spare some change?"

 

"I don't think I've got any mate!"

 

Said I, standing there with a Regular Latte to go,

 

looking like a metropolitan metrosexual monster

 

compared to kind, toothless old Joe.

 

"Will you check for us?"

 

I duly checked and found a pound.

 

"You're a diamond,

 

Have a good day mate!"

 

I thought I'd given somebody a pound too much earlier,

 

in paying for something.

 

I'm always paying for something,

 

but I hadn't and apologised.

 

"No worries", said he

 

So I am down two pounds

 

But now have two friends

 

but know that these two

 

would not give me a pound

 

if I needed one.

 

That's just the way it is!
