Penny Memories

Dad said this about the penny Have one in your pocket to touch You will never, ever be broke Times, I have existed on the penny Have one in your pocket to touch I have many in various vessels Times, I have existed on the penny One day, I paid for my bus fare I have many in various vessels The church seems to like my pennies One day, I paid for my bus fare Pennies remind me of what Dad said The church seems to like my pennies You will never, ever be broke Pennies remind me of what Dad said Dad said that about the penny ________________________ September 5, 2012 Poetry/Pantoum/Penny Memories Copyright Protected, ID 09-418-532-05 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Penny Pantoum Sponsors, Rhonda and Cyndi, HM.
