The Octopus Loan Company
The Octopus Loan Company
By Elton Camp
The loan company name fits, if truth be told
For an octopus has eight arms to grasp & hold
And when an octopus gets a grip on his prey
It finds it can't escape--there is simply no way
The octopus will squeeze the victim's life out
No matter how much it will struggle and shout
Octopus loans, to be helpful puts on a facade
All its customers to take out a loan it will prod
It takes a while for the borrower to learn why
When his debt begins to alarmingly multiply
The day he came in, the customer will hate
When he see the increase in the interest rate
And there is no way that he can get away free
For his wages they won't hesitate to garnishee
