Making a Withdrawal at Willard Street Bank

I took a fist full of dimes and whacked him upside the head
A girl with red ribbons in her hair started to cry
“You killed my daddy” she sobbed
“No I didn’t" I corrected her. "He just hurt real bad”
“But we were supposess'ed to go the carnival” she exclaimed
"Ah that is a shame" I sweetly said
Hopping over the rope barrier I handed her $1000 in $100 notes
"Give this to you Daddy when he wakes up"
Then I patted her on her head and went along my way
I do enjoy the weather on a wondrous winter day
