No More Change

We will miss the lowly penny When it takes its final bow What will we do for change If the nickel bows out next When it takes its final bow Our pockets will be lighter If the nickel bows out next What will we do then Our pockets will be lighter When the penny is no more What will we do then When all our coins are gone When the penny is no more What will we do for change When all our coins are gone Will we miss the lowly penny? contest name: Penny Pantoum contest by: Rhonda and Cyndi

Most likely the penny won't be missed except in loafers and the debit card will be the only money in our pockets...:) Nice write, light and amusing. Thank you for stopping by and introducing me to your poetry.

Excellent form of choice here Joseph...I tried it once but it didn't work out for me...I guess I can give it another try...and I'm a collector of coins and losing the penny will definitely hurt..enjoyed your write!!!

Very interesting form! It seems rather complicated to write such a 'thing'... Hmmm, maybe one day... In any case, a very good poem... Terry
