The Four Rs

By Giggles Anderson

Lost a penny,
found a dime,
threw it in a well,
bought more time.

Lost a quarter,
five cents found,
a dime, two nickels,
paid tax to the ground.

Took a dollar,
bought some cigs,
Few cents left,
Nothing big.

Earned a twenty,
Blagojevich treat?
I bid two-fifty on
Obama’s seat.

The Senate sat Roland Burris.
And it’s alright by me,
For at his feet I daily toss,
the brown Lincoln penny.
