About this poem
I wrote this happy haiku after some guys tryed to unsucessfully pull a super old scam on me today. Those guys are going around, bumping into unsuspecting people. One will drop his to-go box on the ground after bumping into you. They both get mad and demand money. Then one scoops up the food off the ground to “clean up” while the other collects your money to pay for the food. Time to show the middle finger and keep walking. I wont be that guy, not today not tomorrow.
