The Merchant Rhyme

Here is a merchant with a beard.
His mustache thick and weird.
Riding his horse sitiing high all the time.
His clothes were motley but not fresh like mine.
he emphasized on how his profits grow.
And to many people he told this to.
He did well on the exchange,selling flemish currency.
He did this well with urgency.
A smart man he was, good with his witts.
But with money he was down in the pitts.
No one knew this so they clame.
But the weird part was is that no one knew his name!
