POEM
Money Poem
by unknown
Penny, penny, easy spent,
Copper brown and worth one cent.
Nickel, nickel, thick and fat.
You’re worth 5. I know that.
Dime, dime, little and thin,
I remember—you’re worth 10.
Quarter, quarter, big and bold,
You’re worth 25, I am told.
Half a dollar, half a dollar,
Giant size,
50 cents to buy some fries.
Dollar, dollar, green and long,
With 100 cents you can’t go wrong.
