Giggles, Ford. It is a very small sterling coin which, at the time that South Africa changed from shillings and pence to rands and cents in 1961, was worth about 2½ cents. Then it was worth 3 pennies, but not at all like an English thruppeny bit. It was about half the size of that and silver-coloured. Thank you, Tracie. Owl |

I am smiling at Ford's question and your explanation. I have spent a lot of time searching for the meaning of "tickey", found something funny in the Urban dictionary, but made up my own mind about the meaning in the end, no way to discover that it was a silver coin. |

Oh, my goodness, Margherita! Giggles! No wonder you found the poem strange! More giggles! Physical or emotional feelings? Owl |
