So please give me a Penny, Sir!
The mysteries of High Finance
I don't presume to plumb;
So year by year my back they shear,
Sure that they'll find me dumb.
But the oft-trodden worm will turn;
"Demand Notes" never slack;
And "Schedule D" fast at twice three,
Breaks the wage-earner's back.
So please give me a Penny, Sir!
