    Copper Penney??

    My wife made me watch 'Must Love Dogs' and Christopher Plummer quoted a poem in it and I though it was Yeats. ok, you caught me, I was not paying much attention and do not care to sit through the movie again although the recitation of the poem was real good. I thought the name of the poem was Copper Penney; did I get the poem right or the author or neither?

    I Just watched the movie "Must Love Dogs" and I to was impressed with the reading of "Brown Penny". Even though you may not have enjoyed the movie (which I loved LOL)...The poem touch your heart. I am happy to see that there are still men who are looking for True Love ...and find Poetry very touching...Memphisbelle
