Banking On Getting A New Mattress? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

An elderly woman in Jerusalem,
Said that she did not trust banks.
Can you blame her for all greed and mayhem.
She wanted to keep her money safe,
No Madoff, thanks.
Her daughter surprised her one day with a new mattress.
She had figured her mom deserved a good nice rest.
Her daughter pitched the old one,
But after it was done,
Her mother stored about a million dollars in it.
Some Sheckels, Dollars, albeit.
The mattress contained all of her life's savings.
Gone to the trash dump it found its way.
Yitzhak Borba, the dump manager,
told Army Radio that his staff was helping the woman,
saying she appeared 'totally desperate.'
He said the mattress was hard to find among the 2,500 tons of garbage
- that arrives at the site every day.
Also he added,
"the increased security at the site to keep would-be treasure hunters away."
It's going to take some time finding the mattress in refuse lot.
And can you imagine, smelly too!
The woman, if she ever gets her money back,
She is most likely launder her money, -Hum?
It gives a whole new meaning to the expression; Waste not- want not?
