To a Paris bank large semi-trucks
Delivered male deer, hay, and shucks,
Because their books showed
That a Yank client owed
Their customers three hundred Bucks.

At a Greek restaurant as they cooked dinners
Arrived sausages, both thins and thinners;
Their books, when they looked,
Showed an agent had booked
A meal with two hundred Berliners. (hoagy-type sandwiches)

And overdrew the amount.
I had a bad day --
The bank wouldn't pay --
When I learned bouncing checks makes a mount.
--- Robert Grob

Since then I have quite writing checks,
But notice the gov' smart alecks
The lesson have spurned.
They still haven't learned
That rubber economy wrecks.

To punts and escudos, no thanks.

Changing lira at one
Hundred thousand to the penny in banks.

It neither shocks nor astounds,
That with proclivitIes
For wild derivities,
That old Barrings did drop a few pounds.

She worked in a bank at the mall;
I took her home one day to ball.

But I was, I'm afraid --
Penal-ized for early withdrawal.

I don't use the bank ATM;
Can't get satisfaction from them.
I just cash my check
In person, by heck.
The young teller there is a gem!

A frog called the bank for a loan.
Pat Black really gave him good phone!
The terms she recited
Got him all excited --
Pat really gave that frog a bone.

How much do I have in the bank?
My memory of this is now blank.

That it's up in my room.
I'll shake it and judge by the clank.

Sumptuous sanctum enchants friends and foes.

Who squandered each week just one penny.

Of his wealth in the bank;

To pursue their vainglorious ends,
Doesn't vanish when spent;
It's indirectly sent
To the ccounts of synchophants and friends.

A loan please? But Lloyd's said, "No thanks."
Said Barclay's: "It's one of your pranks.
No way." What to do?
Turned down by those two;
Like a river, I'm trapped between banks.

That her studies would make her invincible,
In her courses on banking
Maintained the top ranking;
Her main interest, of course, was the principal.

My overdraft threatens to be
Detrimental to sound industry.
I surrender all claim
That stands in my name;
Mr. Banker, I trust you'll agree.

My bank sent a note before dawn
Stating, "Matey, you're well overdrawn."
As I stared at the figure,
(six digits or bigger)
I went back to bed with a yawn.

A smart clerk with an evil design,
With vanishing ink a check signs.
The bank, quick on the take,
An arrest soon did make.
The clerk was then told to resign. (re-sign -- got it?)

Pity the plight of the poor,
Now that the Wolf's at the door.
Forget debt relief
From this World Bank Chief,
And howl as the blood hits the floor.

Who, now that his money's all spent,
In lodgings, won't stay
For more than one day.

If you're rich, but see bankruptcy coming,
With the din of your creditors drumming,
The homestead exemption --
A Florida mansion --
Keeps your nest egg alive, well, and humming.

What assets do debtors purport
They do not still hold?
Not silver or gold,
Those aren't on the asset report.

Been living like some millionaire!

The Debtor's big money
And some little honey,
Ran off to the Island of Truk.

If I tell her 'bout Honey, no doubt.
She will want her share,
And not just the chair.
She'll give him a rolling-pin clout!

Works in ways exceedingly strange.

It does not like mice.
The keyboard, it uses full-range.

To get the last dollar,
So pay up or you're in a stew.

Who stated a theory not rash.

And were poverty stricken,
At the time when they ran out of cash.

There was a young girl called Hortense,
Endowed with more money than sense.
When a guy she called Sunny
Conned her out of her money,
There went all her pounds and her pence.

But now she has not;
She lost it to the one she adored.

I took out two mortgage renewals;
Don't laugh -- it ain't funny;
And now for more money
I'm selling my family jewels!

Please lay them out here for display.
Give us a look see,
So we can agree,
On a rock bottom price here today.

My jewel bag holds a collection
Too great for a quick-peek inspection;
Let's enlarge your case
To give it more space;
Will you help me do the erection?

Are clean and they're sparkling and pure.
But what if they're not?
What if they've the rot?
Then you'd need a medicinal cure.

What our statements show we compute.

Said, "I'm broke; I haven't a cent.

In a couple of shops --
And I'm dashed if I know where it went".

That's odd and peculiarly funny;
For when I have dough,
It goes quickly, you know,
And seeps out of my pockets like honey.

My checkbook has turned a bright red;
I'm getting in over my head!
Haven't balanced my books,
But just by the looks
Of the numbers, my credit is dead!

If you want to get out of the red,
Take the bank's CEO to your bed;
And then whisper the news
That you'll pay off your dues
In installments, by giving him head.

But what if he tells me today
That he really wants a good lay
Do I send him the bill
So my debt could be nil,
And agree when he asks me to stay?

A "taste" 'fore he'll open his coffer.
She must nibble his head,
Then go lie on the bed
So he'll sample, then pay, and then boff her.

Soon after young sluts
Offer goods that I'm too broke to buy...
