Subject(s): Banks And Banking;life
POETS may sing their plaintive wails,
Historians tell their fearful tales
Of wasted lives and broken hearts,
And the anguish of love's poisoned darts;
But they tell of nothing half so bad,
Nothing so harrowing or sad,
As the story read at a single look
At the stubs in a college-man's old bank-book.
