How I Would Drive My Lincolns.



I would pot it
over blazing coals,
a handful at a time,
then once the molten
pennies are fluid
I would pour them into
a lost wax mold,
of Barrack Obama's
face, now a major part
of the Lincoln dream

Then I would burnish
it to a perfect sheen
and sell it on E-bay,
to the highest
Democratic bidder,
perhaps earning
somewhere
around $200.00
for the small bust.

If it sold 
fast and for
large cash,
I would turn my
two hundred dollars,
into 2,000 pennies,
and make 6 more
Obama tributes....
thereby earning
1,200 dollars more
worth of scrap
for profit.

Within a year
I would retire,
for mere pennies,
and pennies themselves
would soon be retired.

    Clever entry, I thought someone may do this. The only issues you face are

    1)It's Illegal.
    2)Pennies are only partially copper now.

    Other wise, awesome poem. Thanks for entering and enjoy your trophy.
