henny-penny, penny-pincher,
kept a penny in her purse.
but when she took her penny out,
her day turned bad, then worse.

someone pinched her,
then her penny,
laughed, and ran away.
"stop!" she clucked.
"that penny's saved
until a rainy day!"

she ran to catch the pinching thief,
and whacked him with her purse.
then good old henny penny
pinched her penny in reverse!
