I have my mom to thank
for my birth in that bank.
There's just one tiny hitch:
it didn't make me rich!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I like to tell people that I was born in a bank. It's partly true. I WAS born in the Richfield Commercial and Savings Bank building, but I was born on the second floor, where there was a medical clinic at the time. The building is still standing more than 81 years later, at 104 North Main Street, Richfield, Utah, U. S. A., although it is no longer a bank (nor a medical clinic) . It still has the Richfield Commercial and Savings Bank sign on the side of the building.

I laughed at this one too, Kim. I was born in Belleview hospital in NYC, known mostly as a place they sent crazy people. Hmm... -Glen

I didn't really think you'd been born in a BANK! If you had been, I might call your mom a [[ I haven't heard THAT word in YEARS! ! ]].

So your mother went there and made an eight pound deposit?

A little bit more than that, but yes. (Although some people ask 'Don't you mean a withdrawal? ')
