When it rained coins

January 18, 2021January 18, 2021 / Manoj Nair / 5 Comments

Opening my windows, I was in for a shock

it was raining coins, all over the ground.

Big round coins of all known kind,

falling from the sky, all over my land

I ran out with a bucket,

a spade and a sack

hoping to catch, what came in my hand.

Alas, I found I was all too late

the taxmen were all there

waiting for their share!
