You've got it, John! I wonder how much black money is still at Swiss banks!!! And I agree with James! Too much money was stolen by the Nazi from German Jews!!! And it is still at Swiss banks...Wish you a great Valentine's...And thank you for your always kind comments...Gert

Relatively few words in these three verses, but they collectively deliver some great descriptiveness. A good write.

What abhors me about the Swiss Banking structure is their unwillingness to give back the millions of riches plundered by the German's during the second world war. So much for them being impartial. I wouldn't trust a Swiss banker in any shape or form. They have blood money in their vaults. Koolio Haiku series John. Have a lovely Sunday....:)

I've always wondered how the Swiss bank accounts get away with this John. Sorry you didn't like my poem. I enjoyed yours a lot. Best to you, Diane

Well, John I don't have a Swiss bank account and can't even afford the holes in the Swiss Cheese but I can enjoy a cup of Joe while the Mountain Lion slyly awaits to pounce..Bless that lion's heart he'll be set for a month on groceries for he can just lie around feast and not have to hunt ....Sunflower

A strong write about a problem that really needs to be address, my friend. I don't understand how people are allowed to hide their assets in Swiss accounts. Switzerland needs to accept the problems we face globally. In addition, there are quite a few Americans using offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes. Some fairness needs to be brought into this scheme. Love, Carolyn
