A Silly Rhyme

Please can I borrow
Until tomorrow
A shiny silver shilling
I promise I will pay it back
If my willpower is still willing

Who would pay back a silver shilling in these trying times? But clever verse! Aloha! Rico

G/Day Rico, Many would not be able to loan it in the first place, sadly. Best Wishes... Shirley
