Canadian Silver Maple (poem)

Last fall I bought a silver coin for 25 dollars. Now it's worth 40 dollars. How come? Beats me. Anyhow, I love this coin, it's a fine piece of mintage and here's a laudatory poem for it. I wrote the poem last year, hence the low silver price stated.

Silver Maple Leaf –
Silver Maple –
Canadian Maple Leaf –
these are the names of
the Canadian silver dollar,
a fine fat coin with
99,99 percent purity. The
silver content is 99,99 %.

On the reverse it shows
a shiny maple leaf on matt
background. On the obverse
it's got Elisabeth, queen
of the Commonwealh
with glossy features, shiny face
on a mattish ground.

”Fine silver – 1 ounce –
argent pur” it says; the
last is French as Canada is
bilingual. The nominal
worth is 5 dollars but today
you have to part with 25
dollars to buy one.

Denarions and Silver Eagles,
Argentum and Fritt Silver,
bull market and industrial
use, let's get physical
and Crash J P Morgan,
Buy Silver - it's all like
a dance around the Silver Calf
but I don't mind, I just like the
lustre of my coin, my preciousss,

my lucid object. So I sing:
Oh shiny coin, oh big fat
coin, oh Elizabethan glory,
oh Canadian Maple Leaf...!
