Honest Abe is under fire at the U.S. Mint;
his face upon the penny's too expensive to imprint.
There won't be any penny pinchers if there ain't no pennies.
(And I won't have anything to tip with down at Denny's.)
Penny ante propositions will disappear like smoke.
And a penny for your thoughts is nothing but a joke.
No pennies to be pretty and none saved that can be earned;
this can't leave numismatists completely unconcerned . . .
Perhaps a plastic penny is the way we should proceed.
Or else let's go completely green and make them from duckweed.
Auf Wiedersehen, dear Abraham; of all the change that's loose
you will not be numbered -- they have gone and cooked your goose!
