Quick <br />put a shilling in the meter <br />let the sun come out to play. <br />The sun being expensive <br />that shilling won’t last that long <br />and soon the rain will come back <br />and the sun will fade away. <br />I searched my pockets, <br />and hunted high and low <br />for another shilling for the meter, <br />but there wasn’t one there. <br />So we are stuck with rain <br />from Monday and Sunday now, <br />unless someone out there <br />has another shilling for the meter <br />somewhere. <br /> <br />28 April 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-shilling-in-the-meter-fun-poem-76/
