Blood and Broken Bones

I went to a loan shark when the bank turned down my loan.
I've been violently attacked and I have many broken bones.
I was punched and beaten with a bat by the loan shark.
I soon learned that the man's bite is worse than his bark.
He fractured my skull and broke my ribs, arms and legs.
The man showed me no mercy even though I begged.
It was a big mistake when I went to that loan shark to borrow.
I still don't have his money and he'll attack me again tomorrow.
I'm really scared and I don't know what I'm going to do.
Don't go to a loan shark or the same might happen to you.
