A Bum's Dignified Burial

In tears I am after reading this jewel There was a lady well employed and happy each day she passed a man kind of crappy He lived in the alley next to her work She passed him daily, never acted the jerk Each Day she greeted, with dignity, Mr Fred always kind words always twice blessed After years of kind loving pleasantries Mr Fred stopped coming to that old tree Three days gone and Ms. Vega concerned called the cops and here's what she learned Mr Fred Johnson was no longer with us he's in line for the free State fire pit Sorrowful, angry and hurt she acted quick claimed Mr Fred, red tape real thick In her very own family spot Gifted to friend a burial plot Mr Fred went under with flowers piled high arranged Given a decent way out of here, no shame, from a dear friend but stranger, not strange~ love
