The bank that went broke


It can be the party or a party

As long as my tumbler is full;

Yet I feel that my tumbler is full

Too often

That I scarcely laugh any longer.


The creaking of the door

Keeps me awake at night

And I dream of escaping

On a turquoise flying carpet,

But even in my dreams, carpets cannot fly.


The grace that I was born with

Has been spent in full.

And I do not know who

Can loan me some more

So I may laugh again.
