A rhyme I saw in the Openluchtmuseum (opens in Dutch) in the Netherlands – originally from a paper mill in Wookey Hole in Somerset, apparently:
Rags make paper
Paper makes money
Money makes banks
Banks make loans
Loans make beggars
Beggars make rags.
(Rapid internet search suggests it’s a traditional rhyme, and quite widespread. It may have been a work chant.)
