Let me tell you a story, my dear little friends,
About money, and how it never ends.

We have cash that we earn and we save,
To buy the things we want, and to be brave.

But we have to be smart, and make a budget,
So we can spend wisely, and not forget.

Collateral is something we pledge,
To get a loan, and not be on edge.

Capital is the money we invest,
To start a business, and be our best.

If we have callable bonds, we can get our cash,
But we have to be careful, and not make a rash.

Change is the constant in life, we know,
So we have to adapt, and let it flow.

And last but not least, we have a buyout,
When we want to take over, without a doubt.

So remember, my little ones, money is a tool,
To live our dreams, and not be a fool.
