Cents Poem by John Shea

Cents



Pennies from heaven
Was a song long ago

We see them in streets
In left over trash

They're kicked to the curb
One cent only cash

The pennie saved
And the pennie earned

Is weathered and beaten
And rather sunburned

Because many a soul
Has not the worth

To bend over
And give it new birth

So flip it over
And see if it's wheat

If not save it
For your piggy to eat.

Very good John... and just for the record I'm one of the ones who bends over to retrieve such wealth from the ground.
