  (As per Joe/Rigatoni's request) 
 ---------- 

One cent since 1787 
Different designs, there are eleven 
Paperclips fill the world today 
Blame Johann from Norway 

"Leave a penny, take a penny" 
A paperclip, one too many 
Each a little thing; 
Joy or chaos do they bring. 

Kids and their jewelry 
Think clips look so pretty. 
Felling rich beyond any star, 
Enough pennies for the candy bar. 

Old Lady with her purse: 
Counting  this could get worse. 
One by one a coin may slip 
Then she finds a paperclip. 

Once it was Ben Franklin's pride, 
Pennies are now tossed aside. 
Paperclips for many years did save, 
Clerical workers from the grave. 

Will the world ever see? 
Strange invention or currency 
Even an item that is so small 
Can watch the world rise and fall.
