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

A Borrower Softens His Voice

It is a business truth
And transformer of lenders into Ruth
Who have been infamous Shylock 
Or a hesitant safe with lock ...

A borrower to soften his voice
And watch its magic
By far more helpful than a cobra’s poise 
Or Insistent Logic;
A lender’s lost key to his savings booth
Quietly warranting a hammer or Jaguar’s tooth

The voice of the

Within the absence of engine sounds I find time to sigh
I should be searching for the cultivators of my net dreams

I feel echo chills from out of all the

Sun Bank and Moon Borrower

Sun Bank is lending light loans,

To it's Moon borrower,

Moon is not repaying,

Sun is not demanding,

Borrower

Borrower,
Borrowing appettite;
Increasing gradually.
Weary to live within means.
Handcap of saving culture;
Hand-to mouth disposition.
Lender connives with bailiff!

Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be

NEITHER A BORROWER NOR LENDER BE

Because  lending to friend may lose you that friend:
If he cannot repay and feels indebted, his  burden is double:
How to be independent  is what  he needs to learn ;
And borrowing for myself discourages me to think of the end:
And such sloppy thinking will land me in

Never a Borrower Nor a Lender Be

Never a borrower nor a lender be
That is my simple philosophy
But if the need you can’t resist
Borrow money from a pessimist
A positive attitude they sadly lack
So they don’t really expect it back
