When I see a penny twinkle at me in the street, It says, "Pick me up," down at my feet. I slip it in my pocket and off I go, With the good luck penny I could not forego. It makes no difference if they are shiny, dirty, or black, If I find a penny, I can’t turn my back. They go home with me to my glass change jar, And I save them to spend on a vacation afar. Recently I went for a walk and found pennies galore. There was a trail of pennies for 50 feet or more! It was pennies, pennies, pennies- surely this was a sign… That they had dropped from heaven, and I was on cloud nine! 6/25/16 Contest 206 Any Form, Any Topic, Max 12 Lines Sponsor: Brian Strand Awarded 9th Place
