The white marble bank is losing its shirt.
Investments were based only on greed.
Junk bonds are worth less than dirt.
Loan defaults make lenders curt.
They should have followed their creed.
The white marble bank is losing its shirt.
The bottom line is a ruby ink spurt.
Good folks have to cough up their deed.
Junk bonds are worth less than dirt.
Financial gurus are all babble and blurt
as they ensure their bonus don’t bleed.
The white marble bank is losing its shirt.
Wheeler dealers were flimflam and flirt,
double talking their parlays high-speed.
Junk bonds are worth less than dirt.
Hackneyed phrases bring no comfort
when plump pensions turn to pigweed.
The white marble bank is losing its shirt.
Junk bonds are worth less than dirt.
