HE'S A RESIDENT TOO

He stood out in his town like a sore thumb 
No one has time for this helpless bum 
Mumbling and grumbling to every passer-by 
They wouldn't care if he happened to die 

A character in his town though was this man
Seems to have been around since time began
Every hour when the church bell prettily rings 
This man does one of his many strange things 

He shakes his fist skyward and starts to curse
No doubt giving the God above chapter and verse
When the bell stops this man readily stops too
Is this the normal thing that normal people do ? 

To his townsfolk then he is just odd and strange 
Asking everyone if they have any loose change 
We all have a man like this in our town or city
An eyesore for many and so ending this ditty
