A poem "50-50"

I was reading about poems the other day and I enjoyed reading this poem, "50-50" by Langston Hughes.


"I'm all alone in this world, she said
Ain't got nobody to share my bed,
Ain't got nobody to hold my hand-
The truth of the matter's
I ain't got no man


Big boy opened his mouth and said,
Trouble with you is
you ain't got no head!
If you had a head and used your mind
you could have me with you
All the time


She answered, Babe, What must I do?


He said, share your bed-
and your money, too."


What do you think of this poem, give your opinion?
