I don't know what you want from me.
I tossed a penny or two
Did you pay attention?
Yes, you did, but I wasn't,
I'd forgotten the line,
'oh penny, brown penny'
Does it tell of love
Or is it just a line
from a poem
from before our time?
I know you won't answer
that I'll still be confused
but Yeats had the sight of it
so many years ago.
"Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon."
