Took a penny from his pocket
Spent it on a foreign
War
Left it in a wagon rut
And sewed its seams
Where it had torn
Old cockeyed Tommy
Held the thread
Jessie Alba stitched it
And he who held the penny
Was the he
Who had to fix it.

This piece is not about anything specific, it is more about how the words sound when said out loud.
