# # Old And New

Rating: 2.9


when i walked
into my old bank
without my account number [lost it]
a bank in which
i had done crores and crores
of business...
i really did not have
a face there
luckily one identified me
i could make my way thro

when i walked
into a new bank
no account whatsoever
a bank which
does core banking
professionally a
pleasing face there
did not have a problem
to en cash my cheque
i did make my way thro

one biting difference though
the old non pleasing bank
did not fleece me
the new pleasing bank
did fleece me
with its charges...
to the core
