say Hi to misery on your way from love
as you bump on to old sobs,
but be sure not to stop for a chatt 
lest you miss the next bus to pining.

While there please stop by loneliness
it's the only place you can catch self pity
doing a smooth rendition of memories
 as you toast to a bleaker future.

For accommodation for the night see miss givings
where a room only costs a few mistakes
and guess what, she'll even warm the bed for you
that you may wakeup with great misgivings.

On 22nd avenue Rock bottom street 
is where you will find hope,
but be not late
for the bus back leaves in the morn.
