What a Borrower Saw In Lenders Eyes

At first, Henry did not grasp a thing:
The look in Sam’s eyes at that moment.
Was it trying to some warning bell ring
And its stark rebuff reward with ailment?
In it Henry sensed, at last, full danger
At mood’s good study not a full stranger…

There was a drowning man in Sam’s eyes 
While he held out a challenging take-prize 
“Yeah, you love who says business and means it:
They’re the ones you may trust every minute…”

“And shoots him who stays long with my big cash:
For there are banks in which I could it stash.”
