Love costs. Penniless. Naked. Homeless. Cold and struck
Taken to pieces.. broken in two
Pension free, purse-less, and bare.
Stripped for all to pity
I paid the price and gave all that was in my satchel.
No jingle jangle of coins.
My bank account is depleted and I have no dowry to deposit.
On cobblestone curb, I sit.. skinny and starved..holding this sign…
“Will work hard for it
If you loan me some, I’ll pay you back in interest
Just a little love is all I need…Please Help.”
