"Pennies For UNICEF"

When we were kids, and UNICEF
Had plans to raise some cash, and get
Relief at times of Halloween,
Huge piles of copper coins were seen –

By me; we rolled them all by hand;
That smell of cash I understand
To be the smell of handled sweat,
Found on all bills and coins – and yet –

It matters not what country’s bills
Collected are, it’s sweaty still ;
I think of those by bank employed
Who handle cash – I’d be annoyed.

For it’s so dirty – we don’t see
In small amounts how it can be
Transmitter of ten thousand germs;
But smell it does, as we soon learned.

Thanks Lord for this.
