Bartholomew, a true vagrant, treated the entire park as his personal, ever-changing living room. One day he'd be found "renting" a bench by the pond, the next, he'd be "redecorating" a bush with discarded wrappers, a nomadic patron of the urban sprawl.
Barnaby, a notorious vagrant, roamed the county fairgrounds, his home being wherever the funnel cake fumes lingered longest.

His possessions, few and easily pilfered, were as ephemeral as a dandelion seed.
Barnaby, a notorious vagrant, was less a wanderer and more a connoisseur of discarded artisanal cheeses. He'd drift from town to town, always with an immaculate, if slightly cheese-scented, suit.

Bartholomew, a notorious vagrant, subsisted on his itinerant exploits, perpetually journeying between obscure meteorological research stations.
