Anybody hungry?
Got sandwich stuff here…
“Respect and consideration”!
Good words!…
Would you mind very much
Picking up your trash?
That was kind —
Thank you, sister…
Freely gave you what I had
Don’t be asking for more
You are kind and quiet
Welcome to sleep here
No, we won’t watch your belongings
While you trip off forever
Who are you talking to,
Brother?
I know you can’t sit still with us —
I’ll bring some tobacco to you
Okay to vent your anger
Just try not to be insulting
Got a problem with things
Being thrown at me, bro
Could we refer to the women
A little more respectfully?
A little warning before you
Whip it out to pee would be nice
Did you get to hit
This medicine stick?
Man, that really was
A great song he just played for us
Your poem
Rocked our world, sister
Get to listen to that brother
Reading aloud this afternoon?
Swap you li’l a this
For a li’l a that…
Got what you need?
All good?
Okay…
See you tomorrow
Stay safe.
