The dowager declined to buy or lend.
Her grownup grandchildren were in a squeeze,
and though she has abundance she won’t spend
it yet. Presenting her with facts and pleas,
I had to find another way around.
I made her lend to me. I promised more
than banks. Combining that and mine I found
enough to lend the kids to buy before
the closing date. The purchase can be made;
the home can be secured for them and theirs.
They always work. The loan will be repaid,
but daily now the dowager declares
she’s shocked and disappointed. Here’s a quote:
“I haven’t yet received a Thank You note!”
