“Currency Affairs by Stewart Stafford

Monies lent with warm smiles of trust,
Are debts collected at a dagger thrust,
Gold shipped home from battles worst,
Are taxes paid to the mermaid's purse.

Whoever seeks to locate buried treasure,
Digs their own grave by merest measure,
Wealth bequeathed, deceased's pleasure,
Forfeited by greed, a dead countermeasure.

Cupidity looms outside a counting house,
Alimony spat out to a prenup-free spouse,
Bankruptcy declared by a profligate louse,
Dermatitis creams for itchy hands do douse.
