Let's borrow (a poem)
Let's borrow to aid some borrowers
Who are deeply deep in debt.
Let's borrow as we're the borrowers
And blind to debt-filled threat.
And when we're deep in trouble
And need a helping hand,
We'll look for others to borrow
To aid with what we've planned,
Which is....
To borrow to aid some borrowers
Who are deeply deep in debt.
Round and round the logic goes,
An insanely foolish bet.
This is not economically sensible,
But logically comes to its end
As borrowers fall upon their faces
While looking for some friend
To borrow to aid those borrowers
Who are deeply deep in debt.
Round and round the story goes,
Like a double-down losing bet.
