PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As he approached

You got in your several thousand dollar car so fast

That you almost closed the heavy door

On that expensive leather coat you're rockin

When he politely but intrusively tapped

On the limo tint

You looked down toward your lap

Hoping he didn't notice you noticing him

You rummaged through some papers

Acting like

You

Were

So

Important

But when you realized that he was not

Too proud

You huffed!

And puffed!!

And rolled your window down!!!

And he quietly asked you to spare a dime

But you LIED

You have no dime

Because you're doing bad

As you sip your mocha java

And smoke your Cuban cigar

On your way up to Corporate America

Now what if-

Your building collapsed

And what if tragedy struck

And that car you had flipped

And that coat you had tore

And that coffee you had spilled

And that Cuban cigar burned your lips

You too might have to put pride to the side

And ask

ME

For a dime
