Sleeping On The Park Bench

I'm in Texas again and this night, I don't have anywhere to sleep, so I'll attempt to camp out on the park bench. I've really never done this before, except in college when I got pretty drunk,, so I'm new to this.

Anyway, here goes nothing. I'm trying to set the proper qualifications for sleeping on a park bench and first of all,, I've got to say,, there are none.

In the beginning, I wanted to know the proper way and etiquette in selecting a park bench,, but as I go on,, I find out there ain't none. It's pretty much first come,, first serve. As I'm the new homeless guy, I've got to pay the "fees" to the others who inhabit the dark.

One of the leaders wants more money because it's a nicer park than some of the other parks. I offer something of value,, a hat made of tin foil, but he says he has several. So I offer him $1.00 and he accepts. I am now in one of the best benches in the park. I've got to figure out about a pillow and some blankets,, so tonight, I'm using my coat and newspaper for blankets.

Anyway,, I've figured out you've got to make reservations early,, else the primo benches fill up quickly. More about this later,, I'm drifting into the land of sleep.
