A Study of Situational Poverty in the Rural South
Raggedy barefoot children in the five and dime
With a Saturday morning quarter each
Plastic toy soldiers, Nazis and Yanks
Or a wind-up car – but that’s a dollar
Whitman adventure books for fifty cents
If nothing this week, then maybe the next
The Call of the Wild, with noble dog Buck
But what about marbles in a little net bag?
Tables of treasures at the variety store
Aladdin’s Cave (with a swept wooden floor)
