If I Were a Penny
If I were a penny and you were a pound,
I'd be looking to find an safer playground.
Keeping my eyes peeled to dodge you, Mr. Cool,
I would never walk alone to or from school.
If I were a penny and you were a pound,
the places you go, I would never be found.
Now if YOU were the penny and I, the pound,
with bluster and boasting, I would stand my ground.
I would not take your money, or beat you up;
however, I'd make sure you know Who's Who? Yup,
if you were the penny, and I were the pound,
I'd be slow to share space on my pitcher's mound.
