Two Men In Orange Sneakers

Two men in orange sneakers
Were running down the street,
Waving and nodding
To anyone they'd meet.

One had a green sealed envelope
Clutched in his left hand.
The other, a blind man, had a broken clock
Taken from his bedside stand.

They ran into each other,
And both fell to the ground.
Soon there was a large crowd
Standing all around.

The man with the green sealed envelope
Stood up and gave a shout.
The envelope was torn
And the money flew about.

The crowd was running wildly
Trying to grab the 'dough'.
The blind man with the broken clock said,
"I see it's time to go."
