Show-Piece

Behold! knees curled up to his chin Head down, his empty bowl shaken Fatigued and languished with weary mind On penniless status for his bread... Pity, even unaware of somebody playing upon Poor beggar, a pose of hapless repose An act of begging on loss But an utility for a sculptor behind The chisel shaping up poverty well formed Benefited is the sculptor in bucks Soiled emotions to the beggar glue His concaved belly nothing to pursue Unnoticeably trespassed the sculptor to crop A faint sitting target artistically on whop Sold off by re-makes, the sculptor's ooh! In a rich man's house seated respectfully Is the pauper carved carefully Out of a heavy stone looking meaningfully With unshaken bowl for pennies hopefully!
