As you will soon know from this ditty
I am being silly and giddy.
I have been up all night
Something’s not right.
So, another limerick from this old biddy.
Back in biblical times
When a man lived twenty times nine
Do you think he was able
To sit at a table
At the bank and ask for loan prime?
“I think bist a hoondret und tzvantzik
The loan will be paid back in gantzik
Then for sixty more years
The mortgage is clear
And monthly we’ll be able to tantz-ik.”
For example, Noach the builder
Was short a few thousand guilder.
Said:”I know my home’s large
But it converts to a barge
To shlep animals out of the vilder.”
Would the bankers consider our Noach?
They could see he certainly had koach.
For such intricate detail
Before he could set sail.
I think they would give him the dough-ach.
This ends my ridiculous premise
I promise – this the emmes.
I’m going back to bed now
I hope to sleep, somehow
And maybe my poem will get famous.
