PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Pounds, Shillings and Pence.

Never a borrower,

Or lender be.

Is what my granny, said to me.

And all along the mantelpiece.

Were piles of coins, on top of notes.

Papers ,milkman, pools, butchers and The Co-Op.

And on the end , a stack of .....florins.

For the meters.

When money was real, and.......

worth something.

I often wonder if my heart was also in a jar. 

On some forgotten mantlepiece.
