Need to lend a tenner?
No interest ever.
Just a fee for my end,
A third of what I lend.
Falling short of the fee?
I will lend it to thee!
What do I lend you all together?

$\begingroup$ @RosieF it has the British lower-class usage of "lend" to mean borrow $\endgroup$– Grump.Sep 29, 2019 at 7:33

Here goes!
From the origins of a tenner
We have a geometric progressor
To 10 we add its third
And to this we add its third
This continues for infinity
With 15 as its affinity
And so it's a tenner times three over two
As the amount I now owe to you.
