Please believe this story is true, <br />Of a beaver that used money as glue. <br />It happened in 2004, <br />When two robbers broke the law, <br />Stealing lots of dough, <br />From their local casino. <br />They hid the loot in the nearest bank, <br />The kind that a river has on each flank, <br />Saying, 'No-one will find it in this creek, <br />I hope these bags do not leak.' <br /> <br />Now Bernie the beaver was out one night, <br />These peculiar packages gave him quite a fright. <br />He tore the material with chisel like teeth, <br />And saw thousands of dollars lying beneath, <br />So thanks to two thieves, <br />Bernie found the perfect leaves, <br />To finish his dam, <br />And off he swam, <br />To fill all the spaces, <br />With funny green faces, <br />An expensive cement, <br />For a hard working rodent. <br />Weaving countless bills, <br />With amazing skills, <br />He made a place to lie, <br />To keep his fur dry. <br />The pictures scared wolves from attack, <br />And tasted great as a winter snack. <br /> <br />One day the Louisiana police, <br />Came across an expensive masterpiece. <br />It looked the work of a practical joker, <br />A dam of money from the game of poker.<br /><br />Stephen Katona<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-beaver-s-bank/
