Found this poem on internet - Just thinking how much is it true ? (Just for fun) Dedicated to All Coin Collectors Wives Author Unknown. Heres a saying that you have all heard before, I think, Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. Shipwrecked people shout it, as they drift upon the sea, It sure is bad, but the saddest cry Ive heard in my whole life Is the one you hear, when you lend and ear, to the Coin Collectors Wife. Money, money everywhere, but not a dime to spend; If this keeps up, our marriage is coming to an end. Money in every dresser drawer and money on the shelf; But there isnt one thin dime to spend upon myself. Lincoln cents and Mercury dimes, and Washington quarters, too! Some of them are old and worn, and some of them are new. I wish my husband cared as much about the way I look. . . . The paycheck that he gets doesnt seem to mean a thing to me, Cause hubby needs a 1909-S Lincoln VDB. As soon as he gets the coin, hell be looking for some other; I think Id be better off if I went on home to mother. One day in desperation, I took half a dollar; He said it was a commemorative, and you should have heard him holler! Another time I took a coin that he said was a proof; When I told him I spent it, I thought hed raise the roof! With all that money round the house, were really very poor; Im getting sick and tired of it, of that Im really sure! So, I advise you, single girls, if you want a happy life; Dont marry a coin collector and be a Coin Collectors Wife, Shouting, Money money everywhere and not a dime to spend; Dont ever let a coin collector be more than just a friend. I found this poem typed up in some 25 year old numismatic papers. I have not edited it. Hope you enjoyed it. Matt Nickels
