interesting, the value of a penny

it takes exactly one hundred and twenty five pennies to get on a bus 

today I have a puddle of pennies

a couple of quarters

a dime

and five nickels

I also have some cards with change on them from all my rides before

I've had a lot of job interviews

gave me good practice

and now I am braced for the ultimate let down

"I am not ready for this job" I tell myself

what do I have to boast about with no experience in the latest programs of design

and no college education. 

I feel certain they'll like me

but they won't hire me 

I may be an accredited artist

and I would still be left with only pennies

and a little bit more experience 

with riding the bus and talking to managers

all the pennies in the world could not pay for my desired career
