Brake

Willows wheeze while traders weep A head for softer shoulders grasped Spread another bid too deep On margin calling crumpled dreams collapsed Umbrellas saved the follicles While frozen feet alarmed by sudden cold Observe the blaze advanced to diabolical All paper perished, all future visions sold Jackals trace the wall of worry Dining on the furtive few Until at last the feast of falling flurry All pensioners resolve eschewed

Brilliantly witty!! Your wordplay parries are master sword penmanship worthy, Fred. I deeply admire this thought-provoking, cerebral splattered ink. An instant fave-nik! Love and peace forever.
