Jack Horne Poet Limerick

Fake Coins

There once was a young  farmer called Lee,
Who was digging up coins round a tree.
He was sure they were golden
And were awfully olden:
They were dated a thousand BC…

BC : Before Christ

John Smith August 8, 2011 at 2:09 AM It likely was fake as the 'oldest' is dated 700 BC. If not, it's worth lots of money.

Carolyn Devonshire August 7, 2011 at 2:18 PM :) But how did they know it would be a thousand years before Christ would be born when making the coin? Clever and a great entry for Deb's contest. I think she'll love this one! Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn
