Penniless Limerick
Since production of pennies is ending,
Is it time for some idiom-mending?
Must the penny be spurned?
Nickel saved, nickel earned?
Dime for thoughts? Is “cute quarter” ascending?

Penny-ante Raise
Well concealed in the penny’s demise
is effect on the taxes that rise
as percents are increased
(or sums rounded at least)
going up to what nickels comprise.
Inflation Indication
I assume my “two cents” mirth is dead
and “my nickel’s worth” now lies ahead
as the value declared
to embellish when shared
the “free speech” that, for nothing, I’ve said.
