Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Lending Help

1906 was a hard year.
San Francisco came tumbling down
In an earthquake, huge and severe.
Neighbors joined to rebuild the town.
A banker and a garbage man,
A.P. Giannini and me
Carried out a bank saving plan,
Moving the money to safety,
Using my garbage cart and horse.
The bank stayed busy and became
Bank of America of course,
Over decades, a household name.

My son got a job at that bank.
If you stop in just ask for Frank.
