TheToxicMuffin's Advent calendar! Day 1

So, I just came up with the idea to give all my followers a gift to share my thankfulness with you. Each day until Christmas I'll give you something to enjoy and assist with your writing. Today: A poem from Langston Hughes!

50-50

I’m all alone in this world, she said,
Ain’t got nobody to share my bed,
Ain’t got nobody to hold my hand—
The truth of the matter’s
I ain’t got no man.

Big Boy opened his mouth and said,
Trouble with you is
You ain’t got no head!
If you had a head and used your mind
You could have me with you
All the time.

She answered, Babe, what must I do?

He said, Share your bed—
And your money, too.
