A penny for your dreams—
they’re as curious as thoughts.
A nickel for your laughter
if it comes out of the box.
A dime for your happiness
if you’ll share it with me.
A quarter for your apple
if it falls far from the tree.
A dollar for your love,
but only time will whisper
if it’s money down the drain
or a happy ever after.
Lovely! Made me think fondly of Shel Silverstein.
that¹s a great great comment! Shel Silverstein was my first poetic hero and yes, I can feel his influence here now that you say it! Hurrah for silliness with an underbelly I¹d love to see the illustration he would draw for this poem 🙂

I got a dollar forty-one too! Funny how that is, the adding it up, which I did both mathematically and poetically in the accounting of this poem.
