ONE PENNY OWING

The city was right keen,
Sent a letter sounding mean,
On her house threatening a lien.
As all of us are well knowing,
Such a thing is seldom seen
Over just one penny owing.

But citizens began to yelp,
And strangers came forth to help.
One said 'What the heck,
I'll write a one-cent check
Though this is rotten kelp.'
