The Big and Little Nickel Contest!

When I found a 2011 $100 bill,
I ecstaticly hollered, "Boy, what a thrill!"
I couldn't believe my eyes, then to my surprise,
the piece said "facsimile," and I started to cry.
Then I said, "Why is the world such a lie?!"

Joe really liked his quarter
Turned out he was a hoarder
He had silver and nickel and copper
Now he has no money for a whopper
He may have to be a robber

 

*bump* for all the four liners

 

There once was a man from nantickle....

 

Four more lines... four more lines...

 

I'll save all of mine 'til I'm old
The feel and the heft of the gold
Don't tell me my Eagle
Is no longer legal
Take them when my hand is cold

 

Contest entries end tomorrow night! Let's get a few more in!

 

Doug went to a coin shop in Nantucket.
He was looking to add to his collection of Ducats.
"What do you mean?"
"You only sell coins with green beans?"
On the way home he cried buckets.

 

You had me worried with that "Nantucket" line

 

It was hard to rhyme ducat and still be family friendly.

 

There once was a man from Nantucket,

Who found two dimes and a nickel in a bucket,

With these, he said, I can well buy some bread,

And so, not have to kick the bucket......

I know. Lame-oooooo.

 

There once was a man from Nantucket
He had a ship but he sunk-it
Now his gold is all gone
And now he cant even pawn
his chicken because he plucked-it

count this one

 

Done

 

Win.

 

epic win

 

This was a triumph! I'm making a note here; HUGE SUCCESS.

 

Haha... the cake is a lie!

 

I really would like that nickel
But I'm definitely in a pickle
I can't think of a thing
To make my poetry sing
Now my hopes are down to a trickle

 

Mercury

With copper, of reeds, and of silver

What else am I able to give her?

Wings crowning her cap!

Said a very fine chap..

Thus, 'of thought, Liberty' did deliver.

[His name Adolph Weinman;
we suppose him a fine man]


In future what must be my tack?
Is it that I increase my stack?
Woe, be my dismay!
As I read more each day
'Tis knowledge not coin that I lack.

I know that in post you have said one,
But here am I in the spirit of fun..
I give you two,
What will you do?
Choose one for the contest to run!

Happy Friday! (The first one is for the contest) And thank you for the exercise!

There one was a man from Killkenny
He'd do anything to find a penny
His wife would say, "you can't do that all day"!
You Already have to Many!
