50-50

I'm all alone in this world, she said,
Aint for nobody to share my bed,
Aint 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.

Langston Hughes
