Gamble Frisk
The bailout charades intended to please
become big band-aids
for the worst disease
The bankrupted firms by manager style
become covert terms
for the very vile
The bank credit loans recklessly given
become buffer zones
for the greed driven
The gold parachutes lavishly conferred
become sham salutes
for the inept herd
The bad Market bets imperiled by risk
become salvage pets
for the gamble frisk
The mere twelve zeros after number one
become huge heroes
for all the misdone
