Pennies Everywhere!

I bought a foreclosure
This should be great
I'm always finding coinage
It must be my fate

In the kitchen drawers
I find me some pennies
Why can't I be lucky
And find a stack of twenties?

I sweep out the closets
And look, there's some more
It's like a treasure hunt
And less like a chore

The change is adding up
Oh it's like I'm so rich
But I won't get wealthy
So that's quite a glitch

Pennies in the bathroom
Pennies in the attic
Every room I go in
It's quite problematic

Pennies on the shelves
Come raining down on me
Pulling down the top shelf
I get a bunch for free

Pennies by the front door
Pennies by the back
I've found enough pennies
To fill up a sack

I find so many pennies
Now and then a dime
Where's my bag of hundreds?
Now that'd be sublime!

  1. You're just a money magnet and a talented poet.


  2. haha

    Back when I was renting I found pennies from the previous tenant.


  3. We did away with our penny, so no longer find these treasures when cleaning/renovating.   No one has replaced them with fivers or twenties yet.


  4. Nice poem, Dawn!
