Save a Penny / Save a Buck

You can't find a single thing

That costs a penny anymore,

But loose change thrown into a jar

Can yield a bounty in due course,

And it's easier to let it sit

And keep its brothers company

Than to haul around in purse or pocket

Like the burden of a horse.

 

Some may think the mundane task

Of rolling pennies far too trite

To be concerned or bothered by

The burden of collecting them.

And these shortsighted people will

One day retire to poverty

And wonder why the world has not

Been kinder as their candles dim.

The better off are better off

Not by chance and not by luck.

They learned their lesson early on...

Save a penny... Save a buck.
