Pound of Flesh
Trust banks,
Is it bank on institutions?
Or gorgeous sophisticated traps
So may tricksters have fill?
Who is the criminal?
Account holders! Aha!
Good banks no mistakes.
Is it?
Correct idiots deceive
Send no info at the right time.
Cause their aim is to steal.
Fast buck maintain glamorous
Ideals of neon lights and sheen
Fake prosperity and promise
Simply to siphon, survival means.

Author's Notes/Comments:
Never in life 'been a bank defaulter but the smart trendy idiot bank has let me down for the third time with no fault of mine in the goody goody land I live! First time it was for a comma which was given an ok by the person who accepted the same in the bank - my tel bill was not paid though there was enough money, next an amount was subtracted for buying a gold bar per telephone - another lie because I never do telephone banking...had I not checked the money stolen...no due interest paid that showed a minus in my account - this time it was classic they wanted a twenty dollar to give a statement of accounts for the last three months) All in a goody goody land good things happen to stupid foreigners
