There is a man on a hammock begging for money in the city. A man in a suit looks at him.
There is a man in a hammock begging in a city, not a park. Hammocks are not usually found in cities.
Why is the man begging on a hammock?
Brother, can you spare a lime?

A play on "brother, can you spare a dime?" which is a song about economic hardship that came out during the great depression. Instead of asking for a meager amount of money, this beggar, who doesn't seem to be in dire financial straits and is instead on some type of tropical vacation in the subway, is asking for a lime, which is a superfluous garnish for his leisurely beverage. The contrast between the vacation depicted and the poverty of the original song is funny.
