/// Here’s The Banker Itzinger, respected
for medallions and art he collected.
How he bought massive medals,
cast from rich precious metals,
was suspected, but never detected.
/// Those with funds in his bank had been yearning
to increase what deposits were earning.
Some had questions intensive
about hobbies expensive,
but they all would lose interest (in learning).
/// His bank’s losses had no paper trail,
so Itzinger would not go to jail.
He had paid men with clout
to get his bank bailed out.
He lived large and was too big to fail.

Welcome to Purgatory! I wrote here a few times but nobody read me. You should do better, because you got on it fast. Good work today, Amigo!
You just replied to mabrndt, but I got the message, Ish. Thanks for the feedback. When you were posting here I read your stuff, but I guess I neglected to give upvotes at the time so you would know. Instead I commented about it on GoComics. Sorry about that.
Did you get my email, Sol? Your banishment has been lifted!
Yes, Steve, thank you. Perhaps they must wait until Thursday’s features are posted before restoring my deleted Comments. Please see my reply to your email.
