A Week Without Cents


Whenever I am down
peddling and meddling about the town,
I always stop to think
and my ideas start to link
answers to why change cries “klink.”

Whenever I have cents
lying and crying in immense,
People always ask me
why I cannot possibly see
to just simply give it away for free.

I look back at them
praying and saying that their records do not play at the same rpm,
And I tell them a sad, sad story
One of love and life and glory,
And how it ended with me as quarry.

Once upon a day in May,
Waiting and hating the day that was gay,
I took a chance and left
my cents in the deepest, darkest cleft
And made my friend of sorts bereft

A week later I found,
stunning and running into the ground,
Reality had struck
As if I had been hit by a truck
And I found out who was the real schmuck.

I took back my cents,
singing and ringing with sound so intense
I hid them away for good,
Forgiving the poor fool who would
Give them away just because he could.
