The Scrounging Part
Every act of generosity will be much appreciated, but I am only allowed to take 2 pieces of baggage with me
Please don’t be offended if your good will is ‘turned down’
I might be scrounging, but I’m not a garbage dump
As the material is for use in the jungle, please check out its state of being
Partake yourself!
