I Was So Poor
by gene defcon

I was so poor
Santa gave me food
I was so poor
I could only afford used money
I was so poor
That instead of a brand new phone
Momma said just call using a brand new voice
I was so poor
My nickname was “Cajun Sandwich”
I was so poor
My real name was Donald Tramp
I was so poor
I watched that movie “Heat” to stay warm
I was so poor
I couldn’t even support rats
I was so poor
I collected food stamps
(Even the ones that weren’t rare)
I was so poor
I had to tear my coupons ‘cuz scissors were for rich folk
I was so poor
I dumpster-dove a hobo camp
I was so poor
I had one of those puffed-out air-bellies
I was so poor
I thought tip-jars were for tipping over
I was so poor
I put cheese on my friend’s Mac and tried to eat it
I was so poor
I used Pesos at the Dollar Store
