Stocks and Bondage



Some folks play at both

And others make a troth

Not to dabble in either

These don't even bet fivers



But some get rich with first

Others don't even rehearse

Others play the slave game

As long it hurts none, it's tame



If you take either of these risks

Keep reminding yourself it's bliss

And then, if anything goes wrong

You can comfort yourself with song



- Tristram
