The Wishing Well
I threw a coin in the wishing well
in hopes to make a wish,
and there beneath the penny gleamed
a blue and silver fish.
I wish, say I, for love and peace
I wish for better pay.
The fish it glared and said to me
I wish you'd throw your change somewhere else, pal.

That was good! I tossed a coin in a fountain today, but it wasn't an Indian cent, it was a 2017-D Lincoln!

Very creative. The fish was right. Nice picture of a great coin. Good part of our history. Thanks for the poem and the coin. Mike.
