Shiny Penny
I am a shiny penny
just minted, brand-new
You'll find me in pockets
of shoppers like you
My value's dropped
as some've stopped
carrying cash at all; now
as passe as 'cruising the mall'
But there still is one place
where I can yet shine --
on the innocent face
of a kid under nine
He likes that I'm shiny
A quarter's often not
So find me that kid
'fore my copper grow spots!
