Loan Shark Rumple

Tue, 07/16/2019 - 02:37 -- rfigiel

Rumple was a reasonable man, 

yet his efforts weren't always greeted with an agreeable hand, 

so in his business he decided to take

what he thought was the proper stake.

Yet he was lonely in his glass high rise,

the one from which he'd lend loans to guys.

He thought he would be a little bit happier,

if he could raise his own little whippersnapper.

Then one day he  came across a woman in need

ten thousand dollers her father lost due to his greed.

Rumple, a loan shark that knew what to do

offered her an agreement, then later it bacame two.

Once she asked him again for money to borrow,

and this time he asked for something that caused her great sorrow.

Her still unborn child was to belong to him, 

but desperate, she took the deal because her future looked grim. 

To say the least Rumple never got the kid,

because human trafficking is prohibited. 

The cops found him out when she told them his name,

and he disapeared, never to be heard from again.
