ATM. No Give Rupee

 

In India an ATM

Stopped dead and wouldn't zip

Rupee notes when asked to

Out of it's slit lip

 

Rupee-wanting Indians were

Puzzled by this beast

Which all at once did utter

“Inside there is a feast”

 

Runners of the ATM

Did hear about this feast

And wanted to examine

Inside this feasting beast

 

You won't believe what they did find

Inside their beast's storehouse

Twenty-five thousand dollars worth

Chewed up, and one dead mouse
