Coin in my drawer

Coin in my drawer – Date 2018;

What interesting – Things have you seen?;

Did you spend some of – Your time in a bank?;

Before your release – For money exchange?;

How many owners – Could you have had?;

As you were passed on – From hand to hand;

Were some owners – morally straight;

While others lived lives – that weren’t so great;

What interesting – Things did you buy?;

Maybe as change for – Restaurant pie?;

Or perhaps you were – Change for a coke;

Fitting snug through a – Vend- machine hole;

You look quite worn down – For seven years;

Maybe you spent some – Time in the dirt?;

Hidden, discretely – Within the earth;

Then dug up by a – Treasure hunter;

I also wonder – What unique ways;

You were carried about – During the day;

Before you were – pulled out to pay;

Could you have traveled – In a pocket;

Or perhaps in a – Purse, newly bought;

Maybe you traveled – In a car tray;

Trying not to melt- In the sun’s rays;

I guess all coins have – Something to tell;

If a recorder – inside it dwelled;

Perhaps someday – coins will be made;

Which record every – move that we make.
