Keeping His Dignity

A poor man comes to the door
after the storm last winter and
 
asks if he can have something
to eat if he shovels the walk.
 
You say forget about the snow.
How about ham sandwiches
 
on rye bread and he says fine.
You ask if he wants mustard.
 
He says yes if it’s Grey Poupon,
the only mustard he eats.
