Signs 'n' Signifiers

Jamal is studying.
He's not as good as he should be.
He works hard,
holding a sign,
outside the tube,
for cheap all you can eat Indian.

He studies mathematics,
but his passion is photography,
which he never does,
because he holds the sign.
Did he ask to hold the sign?
It hardly matters.
He is holding it now,
and, d'you know what mate,
It's actually pronounced Jamal.
