Inside Joke

It really isn't funny; that's the rub,
Suggesting we afford a bigger net
To harbor any falling, and to bet
The falling circumstances, or the.hub
Of all our woes with money shouldn't change,
Is.much alike to circus-folk, trapeze,
When weaker rope to swing upon with ease
Results in but a net with bigger range,
And not, as well, replacements for the rope
That time and tear are sure to wear away.
The day will come when falling, as it may
Occur, will be an easy thing to cope
Withal, but I would rather set aside
Our spending, so as not to force the tide.
