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
