Have You 'No' Shame?

Have you 'no' shame?

'Of course I do!
Why?
Have you run out of yours?
And you'd like to borrow some of mine?

Every time I turn around,
There you are...
Always begging.
For something!

I'm sorry!
Any shame I have,
I'm keeping.
You'll have to find some of that,
On your own!
What do you take me for?
A shame giver?

You better get out of my face with that!
Bring 'me' something once in a while! '
