The poetic audit report

 We have audited the balance sheet

and say in our report
that cash is overstated,
the cashier being short.
The customer receivables
are very much past due,
and if there are some good ones

Inventories are outdated
and principally junk,
and the method of their pricing
is very largely bunk.

but, subject to these comments,
the balance sheet's correct.
