A Penny

I found a penny on the floor I picked it up and found some more! Not one or two or three or four But many pennies I adore. I yelled and screamed how Happy for me, my brother's And sister's just laughed At me. I thought how rich I was and then I dream t of ways to spend and spend. I took them all, ran out the door And headed for the nearest store. I thought of toys and games to buy And planes that flew up in the sky. I wanted sweets and gum to chew And oh yes of course a ball or two. I walked along so happily And then ahead what did I see? A tattered man, how sad was he. His clothes were torn, his face Was thin he had a sign there Next to him. It said "Please can you help Me some?" A dime, a quarter I'll work for crumbs. I put my pennies in his cup He smiled and said "Oh thanks A lot" A wonderful feeling came over me I am as rich as I can be......
