Abraham, you are about to undergo a "tail lift", <br />You replaced the Indian penny in 1909, <br />And for your centennial, your tail <br />is going to have a contemporary design, <br />The almost worthless penny adds up to <br />Useless dollars soon all replaced debit/credit cards <br />Copper is at a premium, so what it cost to strike your image, <br />Isn't worth the cost. <br />Oh Abraham, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington, Kennedy, <br />And soon to be Jefferson, <br />There is no numerical number placed, <br />To designate <br />What fraction thereof a dollar the coin may be. <br /> <br />(9-27-07)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-penny-for-your-thoughts-3/
