Hobos and Hermit Crabs are Essentially the Same
Your bindle is home
The shell of a hermit crab
Handkerchief chitin
I really wanted to save this one for Hobo Haiku week, and that may still happen, but I didn't have anything at the ready and I really like this one. I really like hobos too, but I tend to have a romanticized image of them in my head. They are all the scruffy clown-hobo hybrid men that wear white face makeup and have a serious 5 o'clock shadow, a suit vest and a pocket watch that doesn't work. But I don't think these types really exist. Real hobos are jerks named Loyd that have the word "Railroad" tattooed acoss their chests and wander drunkenly across the tracks at inopportune times. Poor Loyd.
