The old man never asked for much-

he could be satisfied

with little things, and such!

He was only a beggar it's true-most passed him by,

and he was only helped by a few!

There was a rich man just down the lane-he had everything, even an ivory lion with a golden mane!

After the rich man's feast with all his friends-he saw Lazarus and he began to laugh and scorn and grin!

"Hey, old beggar"- the rich man shouts,-"here's a few crumbs as he pours them out!"

The beggar was hungry so he gobbled them up!

Suddenly the rich man hits him with his silver cup!

"Get away from my table you filthy swine, you're an insult to these wonderful friends of mine!"

"Yes sir," says the poor man with a humble look-

he's so sick with open sores, he feels like a man caught on a hook!

Two large dogs rush to his side-licking his sores and that seems to ease the pain!
