Alley Violinist ~ robert lax

Published by allysha at 9:53 am under poetry, poets

if you were an alley violinist

 

 

and they threw you money

from three windows

 

 

and the first note contained

a nickel and said:

when you play, we dance and

sing, signed

a very poor family

 

 

and the second one contained

a dime and said:

i like your playing very much,

signed

a sick old lady

 

 

and the last one contained

a dollar and said:

beat it,

 

 

would you:

stand there and play?

 

 

beat it?

 

 

walk away playing your fiddle?
