The Mortgage

 

The villain in this melodrama enters with a sneer,

And says "I have the mortgage and will now foreclose, my dear!"

Outside it is snowing and the wind is blowing hard –

Can no one save this maiden from a fate so cruel and hard?

Hark!  Here comes the hero with a magnifying glass –

"Your mortgage won't hold water, so you must unhand that lass!"

The villain goes back home to gnash his teeth til he is spent;

The maiden lives in peace and never pays a bit of rent.

So if you have a mortgage that you'd rather just ignore,

Get a judge to rule that it is rotten to the core.
