Accountants

Accountants are everywhere
I worked for an accountant
Some of my colleagues were accountants
One friend did accountancy at university
Another went to night school to train to be an accountant.

Accountants count things
Credits and debits
Profits and losses
Assets and liabilities
Material things

Accountants expect returns on their investment
They give to receive
They don’t give from the pleasure of giving.

Some things can’t be counted
Does pleasure have a value?
How about happiness?
How about love?

An accountant is someone who counts
What I want is someone I can count on.

Are you an accountant?
