Slack For Sale

One cent, two cents,
	Nickel and dime
Two bits, four bits,
	A dollar this time.

Ship me a grasshopper
	Do me a crime
Fly like a whippoorwill 
	O'er Anaheim.

I kept re-reading this trying to pinpoint what I like about it so much; it is a song! I love the rhythm, and it's the right amount of whimsy to be insanely fun!

It's what a strive for in some of the odd wee poems so it's very nice to know it worked for at least one soul.
