Question

A well-known poem about accounting was written by H.S. Bailey, Jr. and published in 1975 in Publishers Weekly:

“Though my bottom line is black, I am flat upon my back. My cash flows out and customers pay slow. The growth of my receivables is almost unbelievable. The result is certain—unremitting woe! And I hear the banker utter an ominous low mutter—“Watch cash flow.”

Discuss the message that Mr. Bailey was trying to convey through this poem
