      The Money Box

      Jun 10, 2022

      This is not a morality tale. It’s simply a story. It began innocently enough, over a lunch of beef pho in the Financial District, when my friend Paolo first mentioned the Money Box. Paolo was a pupa of industry then, waiting to emerge as a titan. He

      PLISH AND PLUM.

      CHAPTER I.

      With a pipe between his lips,

      Two young dogs upon his hips,

      Jogs along old Caspar Sly;

      How that man can smoke,—oh, my!

      But although the pipe-bowl glows

      Red and hot beneath his nose;

      Yet his heart is icy-cold;

      How can earth such wretches hold!

      "Of what earthly use to me

      Can such brutes, he mutters, be?

      Do they earn their vittles? No!

      'Tis high time I let 'em go.

      What you don't want, fling away!

      Them's my sentiments, I say!"

      O'er the pond
