A penny found in the gutter,
Not alone with another
Coppery shine now tarnished
It’s new gleam with time vanished
Laying too long in the street
Trampled by so many feet,
Not worth the effort to bend,
It is not enough to spend
Two pennies won’t buy candy
Gum is a dime now I see,
But to gather from the gutter
I’ll shine away the tarnish.

this made me think, do you know people actually leave pennies at the gas station in those little cups? Not me!!!

I enjoyed this one as well PG. (I do hope that's okay with everybody.)

Well, I was gonna edit that out, but then Deer's remark would have been left hanging there, so I guess I will just humbly apologize for being a smart ass. Sorry guys, I'll be good.

It's ok this time, serenity, but don't push it

We all need to get our two cents in...

I once was like that penny,
lost, maybe, all alone
and tarnished.
Someone picked me up,
cleansed me with their touch
until I shone again..

But the gleam has worn off
and time has bent their efforts
and the worth has become hidden again
by the weathering of wants.

enjoyed the images, once again

This made me think too! When I drop a penny , I never pick it up...but I should pick it up because pennies add up! Good Write

How lovely the thought that you would not let a penny lie in the gutter...and that we should see it gleam, again...

well done, Sir...
