That sometimes the balance sheet does not tally
In certain relationships
That the valuation is not fair
In certain decisions
That the liabilities can exceed assets
In certain choices
That disclosures may not be complete
In certain conversations
That unaccrued revenue may be recognized
In certain rewards of life
That books need not be kept
In certain milestones
That the going concern may be questioned
In certain stages of life
That the trial balance of life may be the real thing
That you can sometimes love your liabilities
And that you can decommission your most cherished assets
