They never gave him time to reconstruct. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And their profits from the business have been twenty-five per cent, <br>Which, I reckon, is a pretty tidy whack, <br>And I think it's only proper, now the thing has come a cropper, <br>That they ought to pay a little of it back. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">I have read about &quot;reserve funds&quot;, &quot;banking freeholds&quot;, and the like, <br>Till I thought the bank had thousands of assets, <br>And it strikes me very funny that they take a fellow's money <br>When they haven't got enough to pay their debts. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And they say they've lent my money, and they can't get paid it back. <br>I know their rates per cent were tens and twelves; <br>And if they've made a blunder after scooping all this plunder, <br>Why, they ought to fork the money out themselves. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">So all you bank shareholders, if you won't pay what you owe, <br>You will find that on your bank will fall a blight; <br>And the reason is because it's simply certain that deposits <br>Will be stopped, the bank will bust, and serve you right! </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br> <br></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Andrew+Barton+Paterson">Andrew Barton Paterson</a><div class=q>
