Position:Home>Poetry> "Because of Ma"...How could they forget to care?Question: "Because of Ma"!.!.!.How could they forget to care!? Beacuse of Ma Beignets by the Moonwalk Many times I talk that talk In the city that forgot to care Artists holding up Jackson Square A penny tells your thoughts Dime for your rhyme Rappers on corners on buckets keeping time As the Pontalba stands guard The Cabildo sheds shadows While a hippie chick dances to no music at all An old man holds his hand out to you Offering nothing asking for anything Wanting everything to be quiet tonight And the powder falls in to the cup Sweetening each sip I used to drink ?rad102808Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You sat three tables over, by the iron gate in the open courtyard!. You laughed at me, as I dropped the crumbs and jumped as the seagulls surrounded in lightening speed!. I spilled my coffee and made a mess!. My first time at the Cafe!. But you had been there many a time!. We were just years apart!. And I still care!. ma Thanks, HPWww@QuestionHome@Com Brilliant !!!
