Risk

Thou shalst weigh thy risk
from chilly dawn to early dusk
thou shalst not loose a single penny
in private banking over Guinness and Kilkenny
but if you loose your scarf and hat
then shalst sizzle in thine own hot fat
and be given bread and water
by the one who stopped to be the grinning nodder
So swing the risk's odd pendulum
and look where dire loss might loom
cite the banker's prayer short
GOD, MY ASSETS OF WHATEVER SORT
KEEP THEM SAFE AND SOUND, and white.
and launder dirty ones with all thy might.
