Mama is no more, Papa is sick
Room filled with gloom from a dying wick
To cure Papa’s cough of old
Physician must have coins of gold
Palms slap in helplessness
Willing pockets cry penniless
No hope of Papa getting well,
Unless articles of value we sell
But only thing left in dingy vicinity
Is Angela’s innocent virginity
