Find A Penny pick it up all the day you have good luck.

There is a great story behind that ryme. My mother that is with our heavenly father and is enjoying life like some of us should here. The ryme always had a pick me up when I was down or sad on a day that things didn't go my way.

"Find a penny pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck"

Anybody ever have a day that didn't go so well and you had a pick me up coin ryme? Or something like that.image

    Not a rhyme but when we were kids--that's the connection to your tale of woe--we would pitch nickels on the sidewalks. Closest to the crack in the sidewalk won, and if your coin leaned into the crack you won double. If you bridged the crack you won triple. I loved pitching nickels....

    my brother and his friends used to chuck pennies down the sewer - my dad hit the roof when he found out!

    That's sick. It's like the dollar bill trick on fishing line.
