Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Bright Shiny Quarter

  A bright shiny quarter was rolling its way
    toward a young man with large bills to pay

  The nickel rolled by, ignored and shunned 
    ~ all the young man’s accounts were dunned

Kim Rodrigues March 26, 2024 at 9:16 AM Perhaps if he caught the one rolling by he wouldn’t have passed the buck. Gershon Wolf March 26, 2024 at 7:24 PM Ha, ha. Great solution for this 'young man,' Kim. :) gw

Karen Jones March 25, 2024 at 11:57 PM I am so old I recall buying a lot more with two quarters than you can today! Gershon Wolf March 26, 2024 at 7:27 PM Can't even think of one thing you can buy with two quarters today. Can you? ... Thanks 'Old-Timer'
