a song about a tramp II

Yet again I consulted RhymeZone once or twice and added a few lines. I also replaced and rearranged some lines in the second verse:

his stuff stowed in a shopping cart
his main asset an old guitar
that's everything he'll ever need
his staple diet some drinks at night
his reading lamp a dim street light
it isn't very much, indeed

it takes good will _ to call art
the few folk tunes he sings by heart
that suffice as his stage program
his guitar's always out of tune
no later than the clock shows noon
he doesn't really give a damn

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

a cardboard box to collect small change
banknotes somehow would look strange
although he wouldn't mind at all
condescendence, sniggers, sneers
good advice, though insincere -
he takes it with a pinch of salt

[verse IV]

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

I found the expression "to take .. with a pinch of salt" on Phrasen.com (a German server for German/English phrases).
