A Most Lucky Penny

Walking' down the street

I see something shining

at my feet 

bronze and round 

glittering in the sun

it's a penny

I pick it up and run

I know just what to buy

a 'lucky sevens' scratcher

and with my new penny

 I try:  scratch off 

and win money!

$7777 dollars to be exact

picking up a penny is wise

and that's a fact!
