A penny please, <br />Slim shaking cold fingers <br />Stretched through the window <br />In my face <br />Oh! Just another one <br />Me thought, ’a penny here’ <br />‘God bless’ said she <br />Lying beneath a lamp light <br />A baby wrapped in an old blanket. <br />Cold, coughing, trembling, <br />She, Five to Seven. Age, <br />Picking and pecking I see <br />Away our bus is pulling <br />Lights, colorful lights and souls dancing <br />In halls, partying. <br />I see the child eating doughnut <br />The baby strapped in her back <br />Our bus, out of city <br />Back, I see colorful lights <br />Sick child, baby and doughnut. I think.<br /><br />Charles Jagongo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-baby-and-doughnut/
