Poetry For a Change

When I was a kid I used to write poetry off and on. In fact, over the course of a few years I had filled an entire notebook with the poems that I had written. For years this notebook had been lost, but one day whilst cleaning out my garage I happened upon it at the bottom of an old box. It sure brought back a lot of memories. The poetry was awful to be sure, but on occassion I had used a page of the notebook to jot down notes about things unrelated to poetry. It was on one of these pages that I wrote my masterpiece. While not initially meant to be a "poem" per se, it now reads with a flow and artistry that none of my "intentional poetry" ever achieved. Here now for your enjoyment is my long lost work of art entitled "Counting Change". Enjoy!
