When flipping a coin,
Someone calls
“heads” or “tails”
And whichever
is chosen,
A winner
prevails.
A president’s
head
Is what’s
actually shown.
On a penny,
it’s Lincoln;
The quarter
is known
As George
Washington’s place
And the
nickel is where
Thomas
Jefferson’s face
Is imprinted
right there.
F.D.R. has
the dime
And, since
back in the day,
The half-dollar’s
profile
Is of J.F.K.
The back of
each coin,
As the “tail”
will reveal,
Has a shield
or an eagle
Or President’s
seal.
There’s also
a torch
And an olive
branch, too.
Monticello
is pictured;
Some stars
are on view.
Yet the Treasury
wants
A new coin
to be made
Worth a
dollar, with You-Know-Who
Proudly
displayed.
On both
sides of the coin, though,
His face
will appear.
Shouldn’t
one be his head
And the other
his rear?
That would
sure cause a scene
For the
country to hail.
After all,
coins still need
