Loose Change

If I had a nickel, I'd sell something,
flip it to a dime.
If I had a dime, I'd stand around and 
loiter, 
maybe someone would hand me
a quarter.
If I had a quarter, I'd bet it on a pony,
win, and get me a dollar.
Heck! If I had that dollar,
everything up to that, why even bother.

I think this is quite good. I hope your hands overflow with whatever maintains a peaceful state of mind. Enough to flow to others but not so much that you forget to be thankful.
