A Penny For Your Thoughts

A Penny For Your Thoughts

A
saying that's been around forever Where it came from I haven't a clue There's many phrases just like this one So familiar to both me and you

PENNY
is a word not heard much these days Its value is less than a cent We used to get a big bag full of candy At the store, it was a big event

FOR
many years its value has decreased There's a rumour they'll not longer exist Where's this technological age leading us The good old days I dearly miss

YOUR
thoughts are probably, what an old geezer He can't keep up with the times But us old guys lived a much simpler life For those good old days we still pine

THOUGHTS
of sodas, ice cream and lollipops Linger in the depth of our being Tears can be seen trickling down our cheeks A sad but a joyous a feeling
