Aggressive Panhandling

(Photo's from Annie's Treasure Trove)

Shake, shake, shake,

it won't stop!

Shake, shake, shake,

day and night, on and on!

Not one, but two, now four or five,

each hoarding a spot on the sidewalk.

Shake, shake, shake,

earplugs won't do the trick.

Shake, shake, shake, shake,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake and shake!

Cursing and swearing and continuous ranting below the window,
even the most benign, tender heart can't tolerate.

Day and night,
on and on,
Shake, shake shake, shake,
shake, shake, shake!

Not once, nor twice but many thrice,
non-stop, obsessive the beggars holler.

Shake, shake, shake,
the cup, the smell, the annoying claps and laughter,
disturbia to the mind and sleep.

Called the police, it did no good.
Spared some change only rooted them longer.
Social service? There is no one when you need them.
Useless government loopholes,
shake, shake, shake, shake!

Until one day,

BANG!

Silence and Peace are once restored.
