Excerpt
Excerpt: A Nickle Peanut Patty Dad bought us all a peanut patty // five times a nickel's a quarter // Joe gave me half; // said he didn't like peanuts. // Times aren't the same anymore. // People don't care for each other. // Helping a neighbor's passe' // keep what you've got; // get more if you can // Things changed a lot in forty years. // Truck drivers get twenty dollars an hour. // Butchers make more than school teachers. // Cows still eat grass // and sometimes bear twins // Steak costs about four dollars a pound. // Farmers still sow tiny seeds. // God provides sunshine and rain, // combines are priced // near a half-million bucks. // Bread's nearly two dollars a loaf. // Greed took possession of nations. // History says, now they're no more. // God said, Do others , // as you'd have be done. // You can't get a nickel peanut patty anymore.
