Lending Money To Relatives

Lending Money to Relatives By Elton Camp Most every family, of bums, has one or two He’s in a tight and doesn’t know what to do “I really hate to ask to borrow some dough. I promise that I’ll promptly repay, though.” He asks because his credit rating is near zero Hopes it will be hard to refuse one you know “Even though you might not lend to another, You surely can’t refuse to help your brother.” What he hopes for may well come to be so To one’s own relative it is hard to say no Actually the loan to repay isn’t his intention What you lent, he will never again mention He will waste your money with great delight As if to your hard-earned funds he has a right That he will permanently avoid you, never fear When funds run low, he will again come near So if your money you want to be certain to lose To lend to a relative is what you should choose
