throw three coins they say
think before you throw the third
be careful what you wish for
a moonlight dip
in the trevi fountain
plastered in italy
coins - a tradition
to pay the ferry man as
he crosses the river styx
thirty pieces of silver
does not sound like much but then
what is the price for a life
in my day it was a coin
now days the kids issue
a statement of claim
Beautiful. I love the way you did this to express the prompt coin.
