Here's my first newsie post. Perhaps add a new story at a later date if I get good reviews on this. Thanks for reading and please review! Ace

The Newsie Life

Early ta rise
just 'bout daybreak.

Thin clothes
worn and frayed and old.

Holey socks
and wore out shoes.

A long day of
carryin' da banner.

Buyin' two for a penny.
Sellin' for a penny a pape.

Barely makin' end's meet.
Barely gettin' through.

Cold, snowy weather.
Hot, humid weather.

A newsie works it all.

Later home from da races
and late ta bed.

But dat's da newsie life
and dare as free as fishes.
