7 Dimes...

”...daughter dear come sit and play I’ve drawn a star to show the way Here are the dimes, one for each day From point to point, place them all I say.” ”... a wallet and a watch…” Time is moving and I’m to catch! Forth dime placed on the One to match! How, and how now to fetch the rest…. ”... spectacles …” spectacular tactics Respectable… the genuine articles Detectable… ” a thinking machine ”... Never giving up, even in her teens… ”... this test tickles…” she said Sugar plum dimes dancing in her head ”... Rudolf, there’s a read to know…” Red lights lead the way through snow… Deals were made in the long ago. Now I’m One and soon to be Two Seven dimes placed and a penny in my shoe.
