An American Success Story

Come gather up children and listen intently
About a family of five who lived in a Bentley.
The year was One thousand and nine ninety seven
Most who knew them, have now gone to heaven.

Max lost his house in two oh oh two
His Name was Maximilian, but he lost a Million then too.
Max was married, to a mieskeit name Sue.
It wasn’t really her name, but it was all she could do.

She sued the baker, the cop on the beat
The butcher and tailor, the girl who polished her feet.
Although they did nothing to merit her case,
They’d pay her the blackmail, to not look at her face,

They spent most of their money on the house and the car
Max spent the rest on his tab at the bar.
For their house they did borrow One Million and five
The bank gave them a mortgage, if they could prove they’re alive

Sue lost her first case when she sued by Max’s mother
She was represented by Max, Mom by his brother
Mom came to the door, “Said, I’m collecting.
By the way dear, Is that a whale you’re expecting?”


Next came the bankers, their lawyers came too,
“You owe us five mil. , didn’t you read the fine print through.”
So they moved into their car, it isn’t so shabby,
Max is the only one, who drives a Rolls Royce as a cabby.
