I Thought this was a cute Poem

Smart

My Dad gave me 1 dollar bill
'Cause' I'm his smartest son
And I traded it for 2 shiny quarters
'Cause' two is more than one

And then I took the quarters
And traded them with Lou
For 3 dimes-I guess he don't know
that 3 is more than 2

Just then along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause' he can't see
He gave me 4 nickels for my 3 dimes
and 4 is more than 3

I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the old feed-seed store
And the fool gave me 5 pennies for them
And 5 is more than 4

And then I went and showed my Dad
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head
Too proud of me to speak!
