Shiny Penny On The Floor
A penny, a penny,
I found on the floor.
It shines and it glistens,
Could there be some more?
I looked and I looked,
To find more loose change.
And to my amazement,
I thought it quite strange....
To see that more pennies were
All strewn about.
One here and one there,
And without a doubt....
There were quarters
And dimes, and even nickels too.
Where did they all come from,
Just out of the blue?
I started to pick up
The coins one by one.
And put in my pocket,
This is going to be fun!
As the coins were put
In my pocket with glee,
I noticed that they started
Hitting my knee.
It was then that I looked in
My pocket to see,
That it had a hole,
No free coins for me!

Hi DREAM ON thanks for stopping by and commenting! My mom told me the same thing. I would often wonder, why is it just pennies that come from heaven? What about the nickels, dimes, no wait a minute .... forget those! Let's see the dollar coins! lol I'm glad you love the humor! Have a great day!! :-)
My girlfriend has told me she has noticed that at times in her life when she is feeling down and seeking answers, she seems to always find a shinny new penny. After telling me this story I commented, " It must be God!" Why? she asked. I replied, " Every penny say's "In God We trust!" She now saves all the shinny pennies she finds!
I love finding coins. I have a silver bowl for my pennies. It is really large so I play basket. I think pennies are presents left for us on the paths of life!

Hi MSantana thanks for stopping by and commenting. I like finding coins too... preferably quarters or half dollars, but I'll settle for pennies! lol I save up my spare change as well. When my jar fills up, I go to the bank and cash it in then start all over again.
Have a great day! :-)
lol! too funny. That would be just my luck :)
