A Penny's Worth

If I had a penny for
every piece of paper I
tore out and threw away,
for everything I started
and put off another day,

I would not be rich...
but I'd have bus fare,
and maybe a meal or two.

That adds up to 2-3 thousand pieces of paper at least ($20-$30), and I can relate. Nice, pithy poem.
