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.
