Poem -
JUST ANOTHER DAY
Huddled up against a coffee cup in King's CrossÂ
Nobody is bothered couldn't give a tossÂ
His face is unshaven and his clothes are worn
The laces on his shoes are frayed and tornÂ
Last night outside the tube station was his bed
A disused and old newspaper his blanket spread
Five coins were left for him in his hat overnightÂ
So the future today is looking rosy and brightÂ
The coffee now drank doesn't keep hot for long
He doesn't use milk and likes it extra strongÂ
Another day on the street to mumble and begÂ
Hoping people take pity on his awkward leg
