Spare Change

Today I drove up to the Kangaroo
I had a RedBox movie to return
I felt I could do with a cold drink too,
but I didn't have much money to burn.

I found a few quarters inside my car
not much, but enough to buy a slushee.
So I took my spare change to the snack bar
and prayed the clerks wouldn't be mad at me.

I hid my coins as I stood in the line
then I looked ahead and was shocked to see
a man doing a wrong much worse than mine
he paid for his gas with only pennies!

"I've just got quarters" I said to the clerk
he sighed with relief at this easy work
