Drawstrings for Elderly

It's really only tattered and a patch will do
A leather or nylon sheath
And the longpole stick we carry our garbage bags of belongings in
Are heavied with unnecessities; half-cooked eggs and dull-ink pennies



The floats are in town
And the patch we sewed strong was strong yesterday
And the stiltmen are happy to see you and hand out the dull-ink pennies
As they cover them with fruit
