I found this poem by Clifford Johnson on a site named OpEdNews.com. It is worthy of everyone enjoying here:

S. 1105: Dollar Coins or Paper Dollars?

by Clifford Johnson
Coin or paper?
What a caper!
One is proper,
one a whopper.
1862 $1 Legal Tender Note
Drastic
is what’s inelastic,
plastic
more than gold’s fantastic.
1935 $1 Reverse Early Design
What is copper
to a shopper,
what a penny?
One too many.
1921-D Peace Dollar
Paper powers
golden showers,
yet isn’t ours!
But a buck round
is square and sound.
1976-S Type 1 Eisenhower Dollar Reverse
One is proper,
one a whopper.
Coin or paper?
What a caper!
2013 Theodore Roosevelt Dollar
