I’m all alone in this world, she said, <br />Ain’t got nobody to share my bed, <br />Ain’t got nobody to hold my hand— <br />The truth of the matter’s <br />I ain’t got no man. <br /> <br />Big Boy opened his mouth and said, <br />Trouble with you is <br />You ain’t got no head! <br />If you had a head and used your mind <br />You could have me with you <br />All the time. <br /> <br />She answered, Babe, what must I do? <br /> <br />He said, Share your bed— <br />And your money, too.<br /><br />Langston Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/50-50/
