Come people come
Please come to us
Oh you are so poor
You suffer so much
Do you ever know?
Why you suffer so much?
I bet, you don't know at all
It's because of your Karmas
I have a remedy
For all your sufferings
My name is Crankie
I have opened a Bankie
Bankie is just another type of bank
A bank in the business of Karma's
Deposit your good Karma's here
Get lucrative interest on annual basis
Thus your balance of good Karmas
Will rise and multiply gradually
Yes, it will be printed on your passbook
It will also be reflected in your credit score
We have many-many, so many branches
We have numerous ATM here and there
Your account will have enough liquidity
You may withdraw it anytime you need
It can even be inherited by your heirs
In case you die leaving your balance intact
You may even nominate anyone dear to you
He or She can claim the balance after your death
You can even transfer some good Karmas
To the account of your other near and dears
So you have a question to Ask, Okay -
Go Ahead, Ask, I will reply with pleasure
So you are asking me, What will I do –
With bulky baggage of your good Karma's
It's simple my dear. My name is Crankie
I have opened a Bankie, I am Businessman
I will lend your good Karmas to people
Who have less amount of good Karma's
They will use those good Karma's to earn
More and more, good Karma's with ease
And will pay regular interest to our Bankie
And when they succeed in earning a lot
They will also repay the Principal borrowed
Thus both, Bankie and its customers will earn
So your good Karmas are going to earn
Not only a hefty interest, but also help others
To generate more and more good Karmas
Just like the holy Gods and unholy Demons -
Performed 'Ocean Churning' which generated
Fourteen special jewels including the ambrosia
Thus this effort will make a better society
And a better world for all of us to live in
So isn't a Good and Great Idea, Yes it is.
All the people agreed with great applause
They started depositing their good Karmas
And got their interest credited in Passbooks
They were quite happy, though their life degraded
As they never utilized or encashed their Karmas
But instead choose to deposit them in Bankie
Opened by the great businessmen Crankie

AFTER TEN YEARS

People saw a board hung on the gates of Bankie
It was put there by the worthy Banking Regulator
It was just to inform every Tom **** and Harry
And was not at all for the fairy, living in heaven
"This Esteemed Bank has gone Bankrupt.
As a regulator we realize our duty and authority
So we are conducting an enquiry to ascertain
How this all has happened after all
Until further Orders from our side,
You the common people are hereby informed
You will be allowed to withdraw just a single
Good Karma for the next ten month period"
There was a rumour that that the bank had,
A large amount of Non Performing Assests
Because borrowers failed to return the loan
They failed to pay interest and the principal too
This was not the only rumour flowing around
There was also a rumour spreading everywhere
"Mr Crankie had lent all the good Karmas to
His Friends, family, relatives, near and dear
They didn't even bother to pay it back to Bankie
There were so many irregularities in issuing loans
The guarantors happened to be the borrowers also
The Borrowers happened to be the guarantors also
As a result the bank filed case in court and prayed
To declare Bankie as legally bankrupt and Insolvent"
Rumours always likes to travel in multiples
Not in a single strand. One of them was -
"Bankie was bankrupt on paper only
In real Crankie laundered all its money
And deposited them all in various accounts
In the famous tax havens of the world
The investigation is going on in constant pace
Legal authorities are working round the clock
The poor customers have no choice at all
They just sit and rejoice by singing a song
"Mr. Crankie, along with your Bankie
Please get us a beautiful hankie
To wipe our flowing nose
Because our eyes are ******
And the tears are not leaking
From any of them after all
Mr. Crankie and your Bankie
Please get us a beautiful hankie"
