Homeless people on a rainy street
Puddles,my sandals squishy under my feet
They try to make me give them money
"But I'm just a poor college student Honey"
Schizophrenics,Bipolar's too...
If only they could get help or knew what to do
I love to see the "Homeless" cons
The one's on the street that don't belong
Fleecing tourists out of their well-earned dough
Even through my Gullible-ness they're easy to know
That's what I saw today on the street
Nothing Special,Nothing New, Pouring rain through and through.
Author notes
LITERALLY this is what I saw today. 
Hope you like it. Note I don't always write rhyme.

hey thanks a lot for entering and sharing this. I did enjoy it. I sort of have this fascination with rain and puddles and bums and I thought it was cool how you covered all of that in one poem without even knowing me. haha funny sort of coincidence. but yeah I like how you sort of directly convey your thoughts. There's not a whole hidden, deep connotation it's a light, fun poem.
Again, thanks for entering and best of luck in the contest.
