An Ode To the Nickel Under the Couch

 An ode to the nickel under the couch                                                                          

 

Oh nickel, oh nickel

Lost in the trickle

Of things falling under the couch

 

You’re worth so much more than a penny

Five whole times as many

With Jefferson peering out of you

 

But how were you tricked

So carelessly kicked

Under the blue velvet couch

 

Fell out of a wallet

No one really saw it

But you did, and Jefferson too

 

I’m sorry, I regret

My eyes get wet

When thinking about your fate

 

And when your biggest fear

The vacuum, gets near

I worry you’ll get eaten up

 

So to conclude this rhyme

I wish I could go back in time

I would make sure you were okay
