Dearest friend –
This is to confirm that
as of immediate effect
but not later than Thanksgivings
at AK-15 gunpoint
you've agreed to 100-year loan
the amount of $2, 750, 000
and 51 cents
at 0.025 compound
interest rate
to the undersigned
all his offspring, step-children
will be your divine collateral
for unexpected margin calls
possible nasty home foreclosure
please don't hesitate to call
my former lovely wives
Theresa or Michelle, one's
at No.10 (London), the other
at 16000 Pennsylvania
Avenue (DC)
– aka the White House
September 11, 2001.
