Ode 2 a Smart Aleck

So today someone suggested
A poem regarding 'two'.
Which really got me thinking,
about what type to do.

There's of course the number two,
and the to that is a preposition
And after that you have
the word meaning also, too.

But there is one more than that.
Which makes it even funner.
Imagine a ballet dancer in a pair of runner
Sporting a colorful, tutu.

If you are reading this,
and are somewhat perplexed,
Imagine being Ceaser who spoke:
Et tu Brutus?



Penny


Poor forgotten penny,
left alone in the road,
down a drainpipe,
in the trash,
under a sofa cushion.

Unseen.
Unloved.
Undesired.
Thought Worthless.

A mix of copper,
and other metals,
a muttley combination.

Not pure.
No worth.
Tainted.

Poor strange penny,
melted into bits;
warped from your true purpose;
used not to spend,
but to INSPIRE.

No longer a poor penny,
your path went a different way.
Not poor in being,
but ALIVE
in every way.
