A poem inspired by ” If you give a Mouse a Cookie”
If you give Wall Street a Bailout
If you give Wall Street a bailout,
He is going to ask for unfreezing of the credit market;
When the market remains frozen,
He will want you to lower the interest rate;
When the interest rate doesn’t rally the stock market,
He will want you save his friends in Detroit;
If you save his friends in Detroit,
He will also want you to lend hands to his friends the homebuilders;
But when his Detroit Friends show up in private jets,
You get angry and bellow “No bailouts to all of you tonight! Now go to bed.”
But when Wall Street is getting weary again,
He will come to you for an even lower interest rate;
Chances are when the interest rate approaches zero,
He will need a bailout to go with it.
