Jenny Emelander Poet Rhyme

The Value of a Penny

entering into the Rime Couee contest sponsored by Dr. Ram Mehta  7/5/2011

The Value of a Penny

Barbies, Polly Pockets, play clothes
the items bedroom storage loathes
Abe Lincoln, yes, an honest man
toy stores please, let us ban
for my kids to learn a lesson
one less toy- my mission.



Placed no. 3 in Dr. Ram Mehta's Rime Couee contest

Carolyn Devonshire July 12, 2011 at 11:58 AM There really are far too many toys for children now, Jenny. And most of them inhibit a child's imagination. My father was frugal and I learned the value of a penny quite well from him. Congratulations on your win in Dr. Ram's contest! Love, Carolyn
