Pricks
collapse around
me dollar world
I was born into tuppence
ha’penny came the day
the Rural Bank they took my
copper pennies
with their swoop of
kangaroo
each a palm load
for a baby hand
my pocket money gave me back
this one cool twenty
cent
platypus the barb in
your feet
poison is that when it began
I felt v ripped off swapping nice big pennies for one cent pieces
ReplyDelete...
in come the dollars, in come the cents
...out go the pounds, shillings and the pence
on the fourteenth of February, 1966!
but I loved that platypus !
ReplyDeleteit was beautiful but no match for that big red buck.
