A Thought for Your Pennies (12 November 2025)

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

a senryu for the sake of a pun or two

"
And from this day forth
We shall be misunderstood
We've stopped making cents

The poor penny. I remember times when folks would store pennies in jars or even 5 gallons buckets. I have no idea, if after they passed, if the family cashed that in... the younger generation will miss out on all the games we use to play with pennies. But I've heard it cost more, just to make one penny. This is clever and made me smile. I like the pun.
