Nary a pound a penny a pittance not.
Many a scoundrel will take what you've got.

Root Of All Evil

Isn't it funny how people see money
pieces of metal so very small
there's not a lot you can do
with a penny or two
money itself has really no uses at all
it used to be beads and once it was shells
at least you could wear them and buy or sell
how many have a dim view of money
pieces of

Weather a penny or it is a pound,
a profit’s a profit when it is found.

WHAT THE PENNY SAID

I am a penny and
I've been around
For centuries, some of
Us are worth a small fortune
Others not so much
We're being phase out
And I won't exist
Anymore, it will
Make me more valuable
One day but I don't
Want to leave

Premium MemberWhen The Penny Dropped

Silence stretched as the elevator
stalled between floors.
I heard the cables clang and groan;
the gears grind and moan.

Then the penny dropped —
Switches flipped, engines roared.
Lights woke up and trembled.
Eyes blinked open as 
understanding burst into bloom 
Gravity had claimed its coin!

All that waiting.
All that focus on waiting, pending, 
for a penny to deliver its message 
seems

Premium MemberPenny Laine

As he gently pressed his lips against her photograph
His one last hope; to see her once again
A tear ran down his cheek as he spoke her name…
Penny Laine

He sits there with the roof down on his motor car
And cursed the rock on which she tripped and fell
The lifeboats; they had searched the sea in pouring

Premium MemberWorth Every Penny

The space right beside me is empty
And my wish is for you to be there 
Desire for you I've aplenty,
Plus there's plenty of room in my chair 
We could talk about things and do puzzles 
Our legs entwined reading a book
In a blinding snowstorm we can cuddle 
I'll feel my way, no need to look

10 cents to a penny

anxiety eats me alive
right down to the core
where my soul and mind meet
it’s always at war
it’s rotten, decaying 
losing worth like a dime
10 cents to a nickel 
a penny, with time
the gut wrenching feeling
won’t go away
for better or for worse 
push though day by day
but how can i live 
with this knife in my chest
it’s

My Penny

Are we prepared to display diplomacy conclusion in el salvador
Are we equated to the residue of our streets at home
While time lapsed beneath the bullets our fireworks burned our shores
Titled day and lived beneath flight
Our cowardice increases as feeding child bites
Taken long, measures of meat
And heel we have not, for catching little speak

Penny Ante

No longer will a penny
For your thoughts make any sense,
Since there will not be any
Pennies left to thus dispense.

A penny saved, a penny earned – 
Advice that represents
Frugality cannot be learned
Without the evidence.

From heaven, pennies won’t rain down
And that’s a consequence
Of a would-be king who lacks a crown
But rules at our expense.

Premium MemberPenny Hoe

In the corner of the room, you slyly creep,
With your two cents ready, promises to keep,
A dime-store detective, prying in my space,
You're such a penny hoe, you never leave a trace.

Whispered conversations, you twist and you weave,
Like a spider in the shadows, never wanting to leave,
Why not rub those two cents together with glee,
And let
