COINS

To coin a phrase, the other side of the coin,
Toss a coin, coin-slot, pound coin, coin operated,
Coins in a fountain, foreign coins, coin collector,
Coining it—what is a coin?
A coin is a round piece of metal called money,
Coins are getting smaller and worth less.
Coins look like medals and, like loins, get tossed.
A coin can be a tip or found in the street.
You can fit coins between your toes, if you have feet.
Coins are circular symbols of value,
There are a hundred 1p coins to the pound,
It would take far more than a hundred though to cover the ground.
Coins mount up and wear holes in pockets,
A coin can be contained in any decent locket.
Coins aren’t always round they’re sometimes multi-sided,
If there should be a triangular coin hasn’t been decided.
Coins buy things in shops,
It’s obvious really when the penny drops.
A coin is a form of currency currently,
Currency is a form of addiction inflicted on us all.
