No Penny Or a Thought
It seems our thoughts are worthless
There are such few pennies for our thoughts
We use to have an abundance
Now like pennies we don't have a lot
So many of our minds are empty
That really is a shame
We rely so much on google
We fail to use our brain
What in the world would happen
If our technology was lost
If in a moment it vanished
Could we afford the cost
All our libraries sit empty
Few people know what to do
They have never picked up a book
It's a thought that should make us blue
It's never too late to get started
We can put some time aside
Memorize some basic facts
Expand our minds from deep inside
Thinking to some time in the future when we rely almost
solely on our technology. If we run out of energy, and books
are a thing of the past, where will we be? The beginning
reference to the penny is because in Canada we are
eliminating the penny.
