Of Unsound Mind: Financially Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Danced in the rain in manic glee.
He had discarded misery,
embraced instead insanity.
He is from money worries free

If he’d been rich then it would be
seen as mere eccentricity.
Because he’s poor. Officially
he must be locked away. You see.

Part of the great conspiracy
Poor men are not supposed to be
allowed to plead insanity.
They have to act responsibly

and pay their debts with interest.
That’s why the money men invest
One mad man can infect the rest
and put the system to the test.

The bankers act dishonestly
but camouflage it craftily
and poor men aren’t allowed to see
They have been screwed right royally.
