Poem #12

I bought a parking pass last night
From a vending machine
It gave me change in dollar coins
Shiny gold Sacagaweas and Harrisons
Taylors and Tylers jingling in my palm
It made me feel like a pirate
And I gloated a bit over my treasure
Until this morning
When I bartered with 7-Eleven
For an iced coffee and a Cocoa Puffs bar

I find myself rolling the phrase "shiny gold Sacagaweas" around in my mind.

Maybe you should just write a poem a day forever. You definitely have skillz.

Secret: Sacagawea is just sort of fun to say, isn't it.

Mrs: Thank you so much!

Churlita: Based on the enjoyment I get from doing it, I should.
