The Nickel With a Hole

as i walked down the street, i came across a nickel, 
feeled with excitment, my eyes begun to twinkle, 
happy? but for a brief moment 
for my stomach begun to rumble. 

from a distance, i saw a bread shop, 
and with this nickel, my stomach was full of hope,  
i ran towards the shop, not walking not jogging but, as i said 
i ran towards the shop. 

once i was in, so my destiny will begin, 
i quickly grabbed a doughnut, and threw my nickel at him, 
he looked at me, and said, "this nickel has a hole" 
"as is, your doughnut" as i vanished like a mole.
