A tale of magic & mischief

Went to withdraw money today

They said your money is out on loan

Your neighbour Joe needed a home

This trade will come back 

With interest for this loan 

This is a fictional tale of course

Except neighbour Joe did get the loan

From where it appeared nobody knows

Or cares to know what they should 

Set on a default of complexity

Or so it should appear

Much like faith it disappears

No real money was loaned

It was a percentage approximately eight

Calculated from your estate

The magic CAR if you care to know

A transfer of numerical deceit

Capital Asset Ratio should be known

Much like FRB, it is a wonder we do not know

Not unlike a monopoly game 

Sometimes the money on loan is make believe

The mischief of masters in disguise

An illusion by the wilful

A trick so wicked

Even the devil will not play 

This part of the tale is real

Before you sign on the dotted line

Take stock, avoid the shock

And the misery this is for most

If you care to count

Collectively the numbers mount
