A Pittima

What can I doif I do not have the arms to be a sailorif in the end to the arms I do not have the hands of the masonand I have a hard punch that looks like a nestI have a chest off a fingerright to hide behind the suit by a threadand go around asking for moneyto whom takes them and gave them to have providedand I ask him timidly, but among the peopleand those who do not want to give reasonthat seems to sneeze thunderI send him to say that living is expensive, but cheapI am a respected godwitand do not go around tellingthat when the victim is a beggar I give him mine.
