Panhandlin' Love
Yo baby, Yo baby
do you have a minute,
Is What He Will Say.
Just In the Knick of Time,
at the Instant you are passing by
Hoping to cause sway, or better yet a smile,
to delay arrival at your destination, Don’t get Mad,
It’s the Panhandlin’ for Love Style of Starting Conversation,
Banking that thru repetitive cognition of daily salutations,
he will win your submission to his Panhandlin’ Love rendition.
We all do it and if your features are real appealing, this panhandlin’
for love will have you reeling or peeling at or to this Condition.
Similar to Sport Fishing, casting your net in the waters of hope,
when Love Boat passes by aka the object of the panhandlers’
attention, you are pulled in or tossed back according to how you
receive them. Panhandlin’ Love requires for you to be persistent.
That’s why the best panhandlers stay consistent.
Never letting up off the game and/or enjoying the hunt,
calling out abstract names of beauty or to just de-fame
from bawlers to players, too many types to name, all look to make
that Panhandlin’ Love Instant Connection. Even Every Day Job
brothers, bellowing HEY, everyday, for weeks on end,
before you know it he done pushed up on you and already
started Panhandlin’ your friends. Sometimes game does work
and you become good friends, that is , until you let him in,
then ego is quenched, then, you see him out there panhandlin’
for love again.
Make sure you know what to do especially when you are
leaving your home or hood and you know you look good,
the affirmation maybe annoying from whistles and whoo-hooz,
or just down right nasty gestations, to Panhandlers your
reaction or lack thereof Is acknowledgement that Panhandlin’
Love is recognized and gets arise, from this, there is a weird
Panhandlin’ Love sensation.
You see Panhandlin’ for Love thrives off of this
Newfound high maintenance acquaintance that
Illicits a Hi, or a Bye or a sucking of the teeth,
followed by growl or grunt of please don’t even try.
Crossing to the other side of the street,
Won’t admonish Panhandlin’ Love cuz
All a Panhandler for Love wants is a moment of
Attention! A minute of your time to say you are fine,
Or what’s your name, Or damn you look good today,
Or Can I Walk With Ya, Can I take you Shoppin'.
Panhandlin Love is mostly lust but sometimes true,
Panhandlin' Love sometimes gets you love thats new,
So next time when you are on your way
To work, the bus or to catch the subway,
I hope this poems reminds you to smile, or
To Walk The Other Way or politely say,
Thanks, But No Thanks, I am not in need
of Panhandled Love today!
