AN ODE TO WALL STREET'S ODOR AND THOSE MAKING IT STINK

[GabysPoppy]

FINES are OK, when the crimes are little
Like fighting, hopping a 'stile or projecting some spittle

But when billions in loot are stolen away
Like Wall Street did to investors each day

Then the smack should be a little harder
Than the one you'd get from your father

Citigroup had to pay just a pittance for its Enron mistakes
Which is on par with punishment for all the other fakes

But here's an idea the feds should try
Throw some of these bastards into the fire to fry

A little time away from their fine homes will never fail
To impress on all of them the importance of avoiding jail.

Not as good as Robert Frost perhaps, but more topical.

I wonder how much Rupert Murdoch appreciates his new Poet Lauriatte (sp?)
