The highest value in
Penny Ville
Is a woman in baggy
Sweats and sneakers running
Many men consider her a dime.
But she doesn’t mind the attention
She’s just running for her health
While many women envy her
Two women try to mock her.
The women go to Wal-Mart
To purchase some sweats,
one Saturday morning
The two women met
They began to run without stretching.
The women are highly optimistic
That they will receive attention from many men
Before a half of mile
One of the women pulls a muscle,
In her right leg
The other woman leaves her and keeps running.
While running the woman is greeted and complemented
By many men.
The woman looks around
She spots the dime running ahead
She tries to speed up to reach the dime.
While accelerating
her hip slips out of place.
