Money in a Tin Can Buried in the Back Yard

 

Early this morning to the bank’s drive-through

Which, after the lobby model, was closed

There was no sign about when it would open

Only news that the bank had been sold and bought

 

So what is my bank going to be named nest week?

 

Velcro Sign State Bank

The Bank of What’s Happening Now

The Whatever We’re Named This Week Bank

Fill-in-the-Blank Bank

Guess Who We Are Bank

Mystery Bank

Random String of Consonants Bank

A Big Bank that Devours Other Banks Bank

Closed

 

More and more often banks are locked and barred -

Less useful than a tin can buried in the yard

Note:

12 October 2021. I took this MePhone snapshot today. The cloth sign is held in place not with Velcro but with string.
