Making Change Count

Penny after penny,
nickles then the dimes.
Never thought the change would count
in hardest of the times.

Filling coins into the rolls
quarters making ten.
Never thought the change I count
would be needed once again.

Raining dreary days this week,
too many without sun.
I'm counting change to make it count
until this day is done.

hey Dixie, hugsss
I am sitting here reading and counting pennies...it's too nasty to go out and do anything else. Just be glad you live in Florida. I haven't seen the sunshine in 7 days. And it's only 58 degrees today.

Neat write.

Hi there jw *s....

if the sun doesn't shine soon I will have to make a trip to the tanning beds. My body  needs the sunlight and I can't remember any time in the past that it has been this cloudy and rainy for almost 2 weeks.

SO I am just trying to make the most of it
Thanks

if a penny saved,
is a penny earned,
is a penny spent,
a penny spurned?


thanks for a well written "thrifty" poem.

"keep it simple"

you learn to be thrifty when your life takes a "turn".

Thanks, as I think about the spurned...

That's a nice way to rhyme your dimes and make them count!

Good one Maur~

Ahhh yes...

Change of heart...

Change of life...

Change of pace...


I liked this Nakedthoughts.

You know, "Change is inevitable."

Well, except from a vending machine...

The type of write that I like. Not hard to read. Concise and makes a point.

I hear ya. Had times like that myself!

When the sun finally does comes back out, maybe it will turn your pennies into bright gold-colored Canadian Loonies! --but alas, they are not worth that much more than your American cents!  

Warm, sunny hugs,
