I went to my bank to refinance a loan on my yacht.

I've learned to seek a message in some simple, homey ways,
And I've found many lessons in the dreariest of days.

Bowls with copper bottoms, and shiny pots and pans,
But when I need a frying pan, each time I seem to choose
The black cast iron skillet...the one I always use.
