Poem : Astraliga

I was walkin' around
Saw a Dime
Immediately I snatched up that dime
and thought I might go to the Dime Store
so I could Spend it,
but it was closed.
Sign said, "Open Tuesday through Sunday, Closed on Monday."
Today was Monday
"Monday!" I exclaimed, "Who's ever closed on Monday?
Monday's when everyone goes off and spends their Dimes.
That's bad for business."
So then I was pondering about what to do with that dime,
just wasting' time
till I saw a mime
and he said, " Why don't you give it to me?"
"Whoa Whoa Whoa!" mimes don't…
"No stupid. Me….Give me the Dime."
I looked down and saw a cat.
I was so relieved that it was a talking cat and not that mime that I said, "Sure."
Quickly I came to reason and said, " No Way Cat! You're gonna spend it on your
Damn dirty milk habits you dirty junky!"
Then he bit me in the left leg so I kicked him in the eye and said, "Sorry."
But he bit me again, in the right leg now, so I kicked him in the rump and he went
Soooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring
all the way across the street and I didn't feel so sorry this time.
All that made me pretty tired, so I put the Dime in my sock and fell asleep.
14 years I slept, standing up, dreaming about dimes and mimes and damn dirty junky cats and how, just like everyone else, I wanted to spend my Dime on a Monday.

I woke up exactly 14 years later.
It's amazing how time flies when you're trying to figure out how to spend a Dime.
I was eager to spend that Dime at the dime store, but it was closed.
"Monday again!" I thought
I gotta put this dime to use
It wants to be used.
It yearns to be used!
So I flip it up into the air.
Heads I give it to charity, tales I give it to the mime.
Who wasn't there anymore but I didn't know that at the time.
It doesn't matter either way……

It never came down.
