The Water Fountains

People are drawn to the water fountains Water fountains are all different They are round, square,oval short Yet a crowd always gathers here Someone holds a coin-makes a wish Then throws the coins-into the fountain Hoping that their wishes made comes true The fountain filled with coins No one knows which coin the fountain will bless Only the fountain knows which coin will be blessed So people hope that it will be theirs. Yet only one coin is blessed.

We all hope for the best of luck. I play the lottery fairly regularly. Hope your coin is the blessed one. As for my poem I just meant that it is nicer to read a good book than law books and Tom Sawyer is a good book. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
