standing outside
life's candy shop
I count my pennies
the shiny price tags
all beyond me
peace, love, success
in their shiny jars
like nasty kids
sticking out their tongues
they silently smirk and
say L-O-S-E-R
I can't surely afford
what I want
and would never want
what my pennies can buy
so I turn around
and throw the pennies
above my head
making a wish
that some other kid
might pick them up
and have her dream
fulfilled !
