Said the Penny
        to the Twenty

OK,
I know I'm
too round
for my own
good,
but I pull
my weight.
I am shiny,
and assembled
of a fine
material that
transforms
into an
admirable shade
with age.
I am a trusted
companion,
who often
makes an
appearance
when you
need me most.
I increase
the value
of all my
associates,
and I am
very useful
around the
house.
From giving
your stories
a shoulder
to lean on,
to keeping
your tulips
alive.
I state this
as fact,
because it
is true.
So WHY?
Why do you
treat me 
like I'm
obsolete?
