No Cents or Nickels

One "cent" is one-hundredth of a dollar.
It is often mistaken for its British counterpart, the penny.
They are worth so little these days.
Now, a suggestion has been presented:
The United States Mint should cease their production.
They say it costs two cents to make just one cent.
I also heard the five cent "nickel" is not far behind.
The price

Saving Your Nickels and Dimes

    You feel so good, when you spend less
       saving your nickels and dimes

    But when you eat what you bought
       you might want to confess ~
    Spending a bit more ain't no crime

Don't Take Any Wooden Nickels

If I had a nickel for the times

Some politicians committed crimes 

How my money would soar

Maybe twice as before 

I could turn those nickels into dimes


Then I could buy a Senator's seat

Kick back, relax, and put up my feet

I'd promise everyone 

But then get nothing done 

And take a ride along easy street


So as a

Wooden Nickels and Silver Prawns

Accent De Capo



He loves a great secret. 
His job often meant that he
would prepare people
for things due to them.
He handled millionaire
 Tristeier Didier's inheritance.
She was a waitress at a diner
in New Bristol, the day I meet her
she told me she only had
$13.0 until her next payday.
I left her a $300.00 tip. 
The next morning I

small but big enough for dreams

Pinching nickels for the cause
of selling bottles for the law
Deposits money into kids
and makes them candy for the awws

Boomers Prince Or Pauper

Boomers Prince or Pauper
David J Walker

Remembering when young 
boomers knew
That a quarter really mattered
As  juvenile consumers grew
The choices always flattered

Displayed in rows at 
the corner store
The buying power pondered 
A quarter could last 
An hour or more
Before its value squander

Remember the times when
Quarters and dimes
Were at the root of children’s chatter
And now in tin

Shiny Nickels

Mama ate her collard greens with raw onions, pinching a 
morsel of greens with sweet cornbread, as juicy pork 
neckbones lay naked of meat. 

The sweetness of life, like sweet Kool Aid fills our tummies,
while dishes await scrapes of scraps for the family pet; Tuffy.
A simpler time, when gas was priceless at $.75 a gallon-
and

Two Nickels

He was a good little child with such a sense of adventure
Sure he could be a bit wild but that's what childhood's for
Yet on every single Sunday come rain, snow or even cold
This little boy went to church to pray in doing as he was told

And each week was the same as his parents said

Nickels and Dimes

Doesn’t make any difference
Although some think it does
Some change, how and who change?
Do you have any change?
A nickel or a dime
Hot dogs get ‘em while you can
A nickel or a dime
Who’s to know but you
The difference between this and that
All our stuff that drives choices
Who cares what or who you are
Walking alone without your stuff
To
