Joy calls <br />She needs help she pleads <br />And I answer <br />Where and when <br />I do not bother <br />About why <br />I could be unethical <br />For my left hand <br />Must learn to give <br />Without my right <br />Hand knowing <br /> <br />And Hope comes next <br />Waiting at the Capitol <br />What a coincidence <br />She likes a hitch ride too <br />She needs help <br />Her heart is broken <br />And need immediate repair <br /> <br />I have this flashy car <br />With space enough for two <br />Or more <br /> <br />How can a man <br />Sane still <br />Refuse to give the best <br />Ride for lovely lonely women <br />Like them? <br /> <br />To err is human <br />But to make love is divine <br /> <br />And so I’ll go <br />What happens next <br />I will not tell you <br /> <br />Wait! My cell phone is ringing <br />It is Charity again calling!<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/joy-and-hope/
