One Hundred

In commemoration
Of poem one hundred
I'd like to write one hundred words
One hundred is a number
Many people like to count to
It is used to make statistics
And the grading scale is to it as well
One hundred means a century
When we measure things in years
One hundred days of school
Means eighty more to go
The number one hundred
Is overflowing with value
One hundred pennies make one whole dollar
And one hundred dollars
Is one crisp Benjamin
And now to finish
My poem of one hundred words
I'll end with my one hundredth word
