O Money, I have been sleeping in the streets, and my fine ishoes have holes all the way through their soles.
2O Money, I have not eaten for twenty-four hours, and my jfine waistcoat hangs from my belly like an empty bag of kwheat.
3lO Money, winter is approaching, and it will soon be cold at night on the park benches.
4mO Money, why have you deserted me in my hour of need? Why will you not return to me?
5O Money, I am in need. Hear my prayer.
