50/50

I'm all alone in this world, she said,
Ain't got nobody to share my bed,
Ain't 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
