Daniel's Holes

Daniel's Holes

 Daniel's Holes

    By Maureen Ucles

 Daniel's got holes in his pockets

Nickels, Dimes, Pennies

Been flying

Landing on the floor

Hey I found a dime!

says Benny Upside Down

You lucky!

Luis chimes in

Give it to me!

Nah!

It's mine! All mine!

Hey maybe we should talk to the manager!

Young, sir!  Young, sir!

Can I help you?

Do you need assistance?

Maybe an ambulance?

No, not quite!

Everything is a'ight!

Daniel's got holes in his pockets

with no place to go

Just laughing at pens without the right kinda ink

Left some in his pocket

some in the sink

Getting kinda messy

blotches everywhere

bleeding

Hey Daniel!

Benny Upside Down 

looks around

Guess what I found?

A nickel all by my lonesome

Here on the concrete slab

Wonder how many days

it's been straying

away from...

Who?

Who knows?

Pick it up!

Let's go!

Give it to me!

I will put it my pocket

Nah!

That's messed up!

Daniel has holes in his pockets

Everything is getting lost

from the money he saved

to the tooth that cost

some chump change from 

the Easter Bunny

or the Fairy

No more dollar bills

Daniel

poor, poor, poor

Daniel's got  holes in his pockets
