I Wish I Had A Penny

I wish I had a penny, every time Taylor Swift would sing, My eyes would be like a fruit machine. Ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching. I wish I had a penny for Every written word, I can hear my Grandma now, God rest her, Shouting, "don't be so absurd!"

I wish I had a penny for every time That I was wrong, I could travel to the moon and back, Just like Aldrin and Armstrong . I wish I had a penny, Every time that someone died I would bequeath it to their loved ones, And to their faces bring a smile.

I wish I had a penny for every time That I was wrong, I would give it to the guy On November 5th when Guy Fawkes Comes along . Oh!

If by some chance A lady should read, And decide to break Out in song, Please, please, ladies Always remember that, A man is never wrong . The last verse is for the Benefit of my long suffering Partner Clare , who is never wrong This is just in case she decides to read One of my poems . Oh I wish I had a penny ...........
