Glad you guys liked the 1st one. Here's what I came up with for the Toonie.

Toonie oh toonie how I love thee,
Your value's a loonie less than 3.
You haven't been here for very long,
So a poem it is not a song.
Old style is better no security mark,
Polar bears ROAR they don't bark.
Your commem's sure are growin'
To the needy your thrown.
Long live the Toonie,
But I still love the Loonie.


Hey.. this poetry stuff is pretty easy.

"We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

I never said it was publishable. Just meant to crack a few smiles around here.
There still is a few more coins I can work on something for.

I would quibble that "growin'" and "thrown" is a false rhyme.

"false rhyme"? This is a coin forum, shouldn't it be a "counterfeit" rhyme.

I admit, I like it.

As for the rhyme, how about...

Your commem's sure are growin'
To the needy we've been throwin'


Or something like that.
