Pink Dog

I thought that this poem was a social commentary. The pink dog was a symbol for beggars or poor people. I thought that maybe he was also talking about prostitutes because he makes small hints that could be interpreted that way. "Street corners". They were kind of saying that if they do all of these bad things to beggars, what will they do to you? They treat the "dog" as a social outcast. It is clear how it is not wanted. It is also ironic how they are making fun of superficiality. They are making fun of people who are shallow but this whole poem, they are being shallow. This was ironic and I didn't really understand the point of it.
