Nickel N. Dimer
Meet Mr. Nickel N. Dimer
Friends call him Nick
Living off the inheritance of his Old Timer
Pinching pennies is his trick
In his old car and old house
No AC use in either
Why buy bug spray when you have a mouse?
No heat use in winter, just an extra comforter
No showering daily
Skip a day or two or three in between
To shrink his bill utility
His vocabulary forgets the word clean
Income is good
But who wants to spend?
Grows his own food
The piggy bank is his best friend
With pockets shallow
Of pants worn years on end
Count on Nick, shrewd fellow
To leave you hanging with the bill and a pen.
Know anyone like this?? (We all do.) Feel free to comment.

I hate it when some stores don't accept pennies anymore. That's not even legal!
So, my pennies (not to be confused with the one with single n and no e) are all over my place. Gotta have a piggy bank!
neat blog!keep up the good work!
Sounds like my mother. She's a great lady, but cheap, cheap and more cheap!
kmm: a penny saved is a penny earned.
blindtruth: thanks and come back anytime
ss: i know what you mean...
