"I feel like a dollar and seventy-three cents in loose change" James Korn quote
To commemorate the death of the U.S. Penny (One cent piece)
I was born in 1793 I have a bronze sconce For everyone to see I get around the world scene Much like Santa Claus Much like Magdalene Created in this image I am also on the $5 bill A Mt. Rushmorean visage But now I must say goodbye No more to be cast No more to die In each pocket that I tickle No more keeping company With a quarter, dime or a nickel Because my worth is less than I cost Read my epitaph "A Penny For Your Thoughts" Post Script: In the death of me A lonely one cent piece Hold on tight to my memory So don't let go of me in vain Remember the Beatles Remember Penny Lane And I was hoping to relax With this copper-toned beauty That shored up sales tax
