I found
a pound
upon
the ground,
it was flat
and it was round—
well, not entirely round,
it wasn’t like a marble;
one of its three sides was round,
and, yes, I know
that the current pound
is no longer round,
so it probably wasn’t worth
the pound that it was
back then
when
it was originally struck –
just my luck.
Although a spherical pound
would be fun,
or one in the shape of a cube.
Maybe, in the future,
we shall have these,
just the one?
